Civilization has stopped. There are survivors, ruins, and whatever you know.
First Fire teaches you to hold on, then to rebuild — stage by stage, from the first 72 hours to the first school. Not just the techniques: the decisions a group has to make when nothing makes them for it anymore.
THREE TABS
• Survive!: the Chronicle and the five stages that prepare you for it
• Learn: skills and training exercises
• Notebook: your answers and your games
FIVE STAGES, FROM THE FIRST NIGHT TO THE FIRST SCHOOL
• Survive 72 Hours: shelter, water, first aid, staying calm
• Last a Season: fire without matches, safe water, edible plants, hygiene
• Settle Down: farming, livestock, pottery, granaries
• Build a Community: decisions, justice, medicine, metalworking
• Rebuild Knowledge: writing, the scientific method, mills, electricity
39 SKILLS THAT GO BEYOND THE STEPS
Each skill gives you the steps, the mistakes that kill, and the principle behind it — so you can improvise when conditions change.
TRAINING: WHEN THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE ISN'T ENOUGH
Short choice-driven exercises with five resources (health, water, food, energy, morale). Every choice tells you why it helped or hurt. Some have no right answer: dilemmas about trust, sharing and who decides.
THE WILLOWS CHRONICLE: ONE GROUP, 10 CHAPTERS, 25 YEARS
A ten-chapter campaign with the same survivors, from the ashes to the first school. Turn away a stranger in the rain, leave an old man behind, hide food for yourself… Your decisions, your relationships and the unexpected come back chapters later, and the epilogue is written from all of them. Each chapter is a checkpoint, and an interrupted game picks up where you left it.
A STORY YOU CAN FEEL
Animated scenes (rain, snow, embers), optional ambient sound, gauges that react to every choice, adjustable text size and a short tutorial for your first game. "Your games" keeps your best runs, your key decisions and your time played.
A NOTEBOOK FOR YOUR OWN ANSWERS
Every skill and every ending closes with an open question. Your answers stay on your device.
