A narrative puzzle game about two people trying to find their way back together in a city on fire. Maya sets out to find her way across the city by car, train, roller skate and rooftop all while avoiding police barricades, traffic jams and the spreading fire. Confined to his small apartment, Devin anxiously awaits Maya's arrival. He reminisces about their time together as he looks at all the mementos scattered around his place. Will Maya and Devin be able to find each other before the city is engulfed in flames?

About the story

Maya and Devin are separated in a city on fire. In the year 1990, before cell phones or Internet. They’re on their own, wondering about the choices that brought them here, how they met, and what the future might hold. Inspired by Information Society's song of the same name, Fire Tonight is a lighthearted but thoughtful walk through the story of a relationship. A story about believing in each other when the whole world tries to keep them apart.

Besides its stylish cutscenes and bold color palette, Fire Tonight has little to offer. The gameplay is simplistic while the characters and story have no chance to develop over the game’s paltry one-hour runtime. Even at the budget price of $5.99, I don’t think Fire Tonight is worth it.

Fire Tonight is a sweet romance between two characters and a show of love for the 90’s itself.

I’m a big supporter of shorter titles for the busy adult gamer, but Fire Tonight seemed to take the challenge to the extreme when they created this 40 minute experience. There’s a ton of quality packed into Fire Tonight, making for a great streaming or YouTube pick for content creators or just an easy, breezy game for those who want something a little more casual. Where the aesthetics are a sight for sore eyes and provide chill synth beats to relax to, there’s not a whole lot of replayability to be had here. But for the price of a cup of coffee, you could do a lot worse.

Fire Tonight brings an interesting proposal, playing with this “flame” predominant in young people's relationships is a subject that causes an identification with a good part of the public that lived or is living a similar moment. However, the idea ends up poorly executed due to the underdeveloped relationship between Maya and Devin. And the emotion that would be linked to the adventure of traveling through a city on fire after your love, is reduced to short stages without threats or potential challenges.
