Let The Fire Soothe

After a long day on the road, a traveler sits down by the fire and rests. They fret over the struggles that plague them, and the fire listens. They ache over the difficulty of their work, and the fire leans closer. They sigh over the path ahead, and the fire places a hand on our Traveler’s leg to steady their nerves. It speaks:

               “If you give me a memory, 
                                  I can make your struggles melt away.”

Let the Fire Soothe is a Spindlewheel game about making a deal with a demon. You and your companion will play the roles of a weary traveler and a generous fire demon, called a Hearther. 

The Traveler has been tasked with a monumental quest, and only they can complete it. To succeed, they must first get free of the struggles that are haunting them. 

The Hearther has learned how to gain magical power by burning memories. In exchange for these memories, the Hearther will miraculously solve the Traveler's struggles.

Over the course of three nights, you will share stories over the fire and heal together.
