Nordcurrent Labs and Emergo Entertainment have just announced a brand new indie game that’s bound to warm up the heart of Nintendo Switch owners: Fireside.

Want to find out more about the game? Here’s some additional details and the list of key features:

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. These gatherings form the heart of Fireside’s enchantment, fostering a profound sense of fellowship and connection between characters.

  • Campfire Conversations: Gather around the campfire with friends and engage in meaningful, heartwarming or whimsical conversations.
  • Trade and Barter System: Each character has their own wants and needs. Collect various items and trade with other travelers.
  • Cooking: Explore 50+ recipes to cook at the campfire. Cook the items fellow travelers desire and trade with them.
  • Home Building and Improvement: Collect materials and soul energy to enhance your home base. Invite friends to visit, turning your space into a hub for shared experiences. 
  • Helping Hand Philosophy: Emphasizes compassion and empathy. Non-violent interactions contribute to the well-being of others.
  • Tranquil Ambiance: Fireside provides a calming atmosphere for a break from everyday life. Enjoy nature sounds, campfire crackles, and soothing music for a peaceful experience.
