WHAT WE BURN
A free browser game from Core Systems Asset Factory. Genre: Survival. Free.
WHAT WE BURN is a free browser game, free to play in the browser.
The house is full of things that belonged to people you loved. The fire will ask for every one of them. Every one of them is worth more than the heat. You have one fire and 53 keepsakes. The fire burns down on its own, about a second of it every second, wherever you are, and only a burn feeds it. Carry a thing back to the Hearth and choose, and it is always the same choice: Burn it.
It feeds the fire and buys you Warmth. It costs you Humanity. And it summons the Frostbound of whoever it belonged to. They stay in the house, and they take the warmth back. Keep it. Put it on the Mantel, where it gives you almost nothing and is worth everything. Kept things resonate: the same owner sings, opposites clash. The Heart needs both.
It melts only when the Mantel resonates to 26 and the fire stands at 90 or more. The biggest keepsake in the house is worth 72 to the fire, and the fire you wake to is gone in about half a minute, so unless you are very fast the Heart will cost you more than one thing you loved. The pieces that burn best are the pieces that would have thawed it.
Burn too much and the game will tell you nothing left can melt it; LET IT GO ends that fire. That is the other ending.
