A strange little game - on the surface its all about indulging your arsonist urges, purchasing items and burning them on the fireplace with progression locked to finding the ‘right’ combinations of items to burn in succession, with a healthy dollop of black humour (with the fireplace being a marketable childrens toy, for example), as well as an unsettling bleak atmosphere of a frozen world, which juxtaposes well to accentuate the aforementioned comedy. Realistically though, this is a classic art-house game, deliberately using some rudimentary mechanics as a vehicle for some simultaneously on-the-nose yet vague messaging. Is it a commentary on global warming? Capitalism/constant consumption? Mobile games/micro-transactions (burning time away)? An allegory of the cave? Its not entirely clear, but the variety of potentially muddled interpretation(s) that exist all seem to work, either deliberately or co-incidentally - and even if you don’t care for that aspect at all, casual meaning-less pyromania is still fun for a short burst.
