I love a good cozy narrative adventure. Games like A Short Hike are a nice, calm, relaxing experience to just settle in with when the weather is poor or you can’t get out and spend time in nature yourself. Now, Emergo Entertainment’s latest game has landed on Steam, with a Switch release very soon.

Fireside is available now on Steam and is coming to Nintendo Switch on June 18^th. In Fireside, you’ll embark on a journey through the great outdoors and forge bonds with your fellow hikers. Here is what the press release says about Fireside:

“In Fireside, dive into a magical world where a captivating narrative unfolds through a whimsical hiking adventure. Explore a beautifully hand-drawn landscape as you travel between campsites and meet a diverse cast of fellow travelers. Each evening, gather around cozy campfires where the heart of the game lies.

Engage in nonviolent gameplay through trading, cooking, and making 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.”

Paul Redetzky, CEO at Emergo Entertainment commented on Fireside’s launch, stating: “Amidst the crackling embers of Fireside, we extend a warm invitation to players to embark on this enchanting journey of camaraderie and exploration. Today, we joyfully invite players to this cozy hiking adventure. It means so much to us to see our first game reach the hands of the players, and we can’t wait to hear what they think about it.”

Nordcurrent Labs’ Head of Publishing, Andrius Mackevičius also commented on the collaboration with Emergo Entertainment: “Our heartfelt gratitude extends to the dedicated team at Emergo Entertainment whose craftsmanship brought this gem to life. It’s an experience crafted to provide solace and joy, brimming with lovable characters, tranquil vistas, and a sprinkle of enchanting mystery.”

I think Fireside is an intriguing concept and game. Also, with the summer in full swing, this is the perfect time for more of these cozy, outdoorsy games. Even if you don’t get it on PC, Switch users won’t have long to wait for the June 18^th release of Fireside.
