How it feels

You type simple commands to tend a quietly crackling fire in real time, creating a calm, meditative atmosphere ideal for a second monitor while you work.

What players say

Players use it as cozy background noise for work or study, praising the hidden typed commands like roasting marshmallows and extinguishing the fire by typing 'water'. Some wish for more content, and one reviewer notes the lack of resolution options.
