Chillin’ by the Fire

The night is filled only by crackling firewood. A quiet, simple world where the player’s voice blends with the flickering flames. That’s the essence of “Chillin’ by the Fire,” a campfire simulation game.

A new game experience where you tend a fire

The star of this game is the fire that flares up beneath your fingertips. Airflow, the thickness of the logs, and the angle at which you place them all affect how your campfire grows. Your goal: campfire level 10. The satisfaction you feel as the first sparks grow into flames that rise like pillars toward the sky can’t be compared to numbers on a scoreboard.

Communication around the campfire

If you connect a camera, you can video chat via CameraPlay, with your face and your friends’ faces appearing around the campfire. In the light that sketches your friends’ expressions, you feel the warmth of being together. Random conversation topics also appear to help get things going. Whether you make small talk or dive into deep philosophy, it’s going to be cozy around the fire either way.

Beauty in simplicity with vivid orange tones in HDR

Shapes are intentionally simple. Even so, the orange flames create a gorgeous image with HDR support. Enjoy the scene’s atmosphere—bright and relaxing at the same time.

Subtle details for a fuller, soothing experience

Wear headphones to fully hear the crackling flames and creaking wood. HD Rumble 2 complements this by bringing the campfire closer through sight, sound, and feel.

Where and when you want

Up to four players can gather around the same fire online or via GameShare. The game supports GameShare, so everyone can play together with just one copy of the game. You can also share the game via local multiplayer on a Nintendo Switch. Whether you’re spending an evening on your own or with friends, bring a little warmth to your daily life.

3 game modes

Normal — Grow your fire and try to reach level 10.

Survival — You have a limited supply of firewood. Use your logs carefully and try to keep your fire going.

Playground — Use the four fire pits and play against friends. Set your own rules, whether you’re going for the biggest blaze, tripping each other up, or teaming up.

4 distinct areas with environmental changes

Beach — High temperatures and low humidity for a carefree campfire.

Grove — A dry forest with more challenge. Great for deep conversations and a fair test.

Plateau — A setting with majestic mountains. Temperatures are lower and rain showers may pass through. A location that can challenge even experienced fire-tenders.

Snow Mountain — Temperatures below freezing. An icy area where both the fire and your materials suffer from the cold. A harsh environment with the greatest challenge to keep sparks alive.
