About Kindling

You are a witch trapped in a nightmare born from your greatest sin.Kindling is a top-down action roguelite where you must break magical seals to escape a haunted forest. Navigate through darkness, wield fire magic against shadows, and uncover the truth across multiple attempts. Every death makes you stronger.

Master Fire, Fear Darkness

Sprint through a forest where visibility is everything. Place campfires to push back the shadows and reveal what lurks within. But light is temporary, and what finds you in the dark won't hesitate to kill.

One Hit, One Death

There are no health bars here. Everything kills instantly. Your only protection is a magical shield that can save you once, then you're vulnerable until it recharges. Every encounter is life or death.

Rise From the Ashes

Collect ember fragments from fallen enemies. These pieces of power persist through death. Between runs, spend these fragments on permanent upgrades that fundamentally change how you play. Transform from prey to predator through careful choices.

Break the Curse

Journey deeper into your nightmare, breaking the seals that bind you here. Discover hidden memories that reveal the truth of what happened. Each run brings new revelations and harder challenges.

Key Features

  • Roguelite Progression: Every run contributes to permanent growth
  • Fast, Focused Sessions: Perfect for "just one more run"
  • Skill-Based Combat: Master positioning and timing when death is instant
  • Build Variety: Multiple upgrade paths create different play styles each time
  • Narrative Mystery: Piece together the truth across multiple attempts

The Truth Awaits

Break the seals binding you to this nightmare. Uncover what you've done and decide if power is worth the price you've already paid.Some sins echo forever.

A very atmospheric game that challenges you. The creepy music and sound fit the game perfectly. I died many times and got better at each attempt. With each death, I learned something from it. Be more patient. Expect this to happen. Get this upgrade. Make a different choice. Well done!

Nice little game with great atmosphere. No health bar to hide behind, which adds to the general feel of "little witch in the creepy woods". The progression system is simple and straightforward, you theoretically have access to everything in a single run, but each death makes the the next one easier to advance through. I love how the character keeps feeding us small nuggets of what has happened, really adds to the whole atmosphere.

So there I am hands up, pants down, with just a fire to light my way. The life force of a chicken nugget, but yet I push onwards, knowing that I too can be the bravest little chicken nugget of the forest. Having already been deep fried and spat out there is nothing else to fear apart from the witches that still hunger for delicious 100% chicken insides (P.S. Not in America though because only like 10% chicken innit) That aside, welcome to Kindling, aka Struggle City, you have just 1 HP and dream, never let that dream die because you shall die with it. Honestly, I struggled, I managed to get the mommy boss but she stomped me, not complaining, I think I nearly spent more time on the floor doing the dinosaur than I did winning. However, I enjoyed the game a lot, definitely worth checking out. Some of the puzzles are puzzling, however, thanks to my enormous chicken nugget brain (aka the dev) I learnt the ways to overcome the obstacles that stood before me. But knowing is half the battle, the other half is dying, and the other other half is somehow surviving.

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.

Games like Dragon Age 2: one city, ten years, three acts

Games like Dragon Age 2 are hard to find because almost no RPG keeps you in one city while it rots. These come close, from Neketaka to the streets of Serene.

Games like Remember Me, for the memory remix more than the city

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.
