About This Game

You are a witch trapped in a nightmare born from your greatest sin.

Kindling is a top-down action roguelite where fire is survival. Break your sisters' seals, descend through a haunted forest, and fight your way back to a truth you tried to bury. Every death makes you stronger. The forest will make you earn it.

One Shield. One Life.

No health bars. A shield between you and death. When it fades, keep moving. Burn a path through the shadows, dodge the blow you can't afford, and turn a desperate escape into a counterattack.

Your Shelter Is a Weapon

Plant a campfire in the dark. Let enemies close in. Then unleash it in a burst of flame. Fire gives you room to breathe, but every blaze burns out. Choose where to fight, when to spend your light, and when to run.

Come Back More Dangerous

Collect ember fragments and return to the witch's chamber to shape your next descent. Turn campfires into weapons, leave burning trails behind your dash, or unleash a storm of fireballs. Four skill trees, powerful chest rewards, and permanent mastery let you grow from hunted to hunter. Find a build that feels unstoppable. Then go deeper.

You Have Left Yourself Warnings

Somewhere in this forest are memories you tried to forget. After death, you may find a note in your own handwriting: a warning, a lesson, a fragment of a life you cannot remember. The nightmare remembers how you died. Piece together your sisters' story and discover why the fire keeps calling you back.

Keep Descending

• Lethal combat where positioning, timing, and nerve decide the fight.

• Four skill trees and chest rewards that change how you fight.
