I certainly don’t like knocking on a game for being short, but Fire Tonight, with its excellent presentation and relaxing puzzle gameplay, has certainly earned itself a few more hours of fun than it actually offers. It did leave me wanting in the end, wishing I had more time to spend with Maya and Devin, exploring their city, and learning about their cute relationship. If it weren’t for the game having eight labelled chapters, it would be easy to consider this a demo for a lengthier, meatier game. You listen to a mixtape Maya compiled for you, for example, play video games, consider making something to eat, amongst other things.Įven with Maya’s puzzles, though, Fire Tonight is a game so short that most players should finish it in a single hour-long playthrough.

Because this is 1990 and cellphones aren’t quite a thing yet, a loss of communication leaves the couple separated from each other. In Fire Tonight, you control two lovers on opposite sides of a city that’s caught fire. No surprise, then, that the game feels just like music itself, eschewing what is for what it feels like. It’s a short, peppy game about young love in a city on fire, and it wears its Information Society inspiration on its sleeve. Did it leave us stoked?
