No Firewood – Fight Against the Dark

New Year, same problems.

New Year, same problems. In Nemico’s post-apocalyptic FPS survival-horror for PC, No Firewood, humans have once again brought about the end of everything with their Earth-destroying greed. It’s five years from now and the human race is drawing its last breath, as excessive drilling has released a virus upon the world. At first, the virus only affected the oceans and wildlife, but it soon spread to human hosts, mutating them into rabid creatures. You’re one of the only humans left.

The idea in No Firewood is to collect enough firewood to keep your campfire burning, while also collecting any weapons, items, and ammo that you find scattered in the endless darkness around your camp. If you allow your campfire to go out, or fellow survivors to die, it’s game over . In order to survive, players will have to juggle the completion of objectives, burning of the campfire, and slay or avoid the infected humans, animals and unknown creatures hidden in the blackness.

The game takes place over a number of different environments, such as woodland, snow, swamp, urban and more. There is also the choice of playing through these environments in either Campaign mode or Survival mode, with the latter pitting the unfortunate survivor against waves of the infected.

If No Firewood sounds like your cup of apocalyptic tea, check out Nemico’s Kickstarter campaign, with a modest goal of $1,000, or even head to the game’s website. Quick, before the fire goes out.
