In Fireside, immerse yourself in a magical world, where the captivating narrative unfolds through a whimsical hiking adventure. Explore a wonderful hand-drawn landscape by traveling between campsites, and encounter a diverse cast of fellow travelers during nightly campfires.

These gatherings form the heart of Fireside's enchantment, fostering a profound sense of fellowship and connection between characters.
You can catch an all new glimpse at Fireside’s wholesome gameplay and colorful cast of characters in the brand new release date trailer. This offers a sneak peek into Fireside’s rich, hand-drawn visuals, cozy atmosphere, non-violent gameplay and emotionally resonant stories.

“With Fireside we wanted to create a warm-hearted wholesome adventure about the beauty of connecting with others, even when we’re all on our separate journeys," said Paul Redetzky, CEO at Emergo Entertainment. "Fireside is an Adventure about Talking, Cooking, and Trading instead of Hacking and Slaying with small choices, heartwarming stories, and relatable characters that will make you happy.. This is an escape into tranquility, full of friendly faces, serene landscapes, and magical mystery. We can’t wait to hear about your experiences in Fireside when it launches on June 4th.”
“Fireside immediately charmed us as soon as we tried it,” said Andrius Mackevičius, Head of Publishing at Nordcurrent Labs. “Its whimsical art, humorous, touching dialogue, and breadth of player choice filled us with joy, so we’re very excited to share this experience with everyone else.”
