In Fireside, immerse yourself in a magical world, where the captivating narrative unfolds through a whimsical hiking adventure. As players traverse the enchanting landscapes, they will encounter a diverse cast of fellow travelers during nightly campfires. These cozy evenings at the crackling Fireside serve as the main point for nonviolent gameplay, featuring trading, cooking, and dialogue choices that generate "soul energy" – a magical currency for upgrading the player's home.

On your journey, you’ll collect an array of supplies, trinkets, and other stuff you or your friends could use. Trade with others to get what you need for your next steps, and provide your allies with the means to carry on! Use the materials you find or trade to build and improve your home and invite your new pals to visit and help out!

These gatherings form the heart of Fireside's enchantment, fostering a profound sense of fellowship and connection between characters. Make friends, trade and chat at the campfire, weave connections, and explore a serene magic-filled world.

Indie games publisher Nordcurrent Labs and developer Emergo Entertainment are delighted to reveal that Fireside will launch on PC and Nintendo Switch on June 4th for $14.99 / £12.79 / €14.79.
