Who are you?

You started a fire in the woods. You dropped a can. And suddenly, a shy, but friendly creature appears. It likes your fire. He treats it like a hearth. It seems that you are now responsible for it. Can you build a sanctuary for it and its friends?

Latest Update: February 2026 - The Eternal Bond Update
