About Firelore: Short Tales
3 short stories set in a mystical fantasy universe. You are a newborn Face of God and must decide which face you are by hearing 3 drama-packed tales of human suffering and triumph. Choose a different ending for each story. A short, linear experience that is introspective and emotionally powerful.
DRAMA-PACKED SHORT STORIES
The stories have deep emotional, psychological and philosophical significance. They're inspired by great authors of literature like Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. But written simply, with snappy text that is easy to get lost in.A UNIQUE MYSTICAL FANTASY WORLD
Worldbuilding, lore and immersion are big components here. The universe is inspired by mysticism, history and religion. There are elements of Western and Eastern culture blended together. God has many faces.CHOOSE PEOPLE'S FATES
Pick one of three endings for each story. You can preview all paths before making your final choice, so there is no need to replay the whole game in order to see everything. You don't play as the protagonists of each story, but as a newborn Face of God that is learning about this world through these tales.DECIDE WHICH FACE OF GOD YOU ARE
After listening to all three stories and choosing a fate for each protagonist, you get to pick which Face of God you are. Are you the Desperate Face? The Suffering Face? The Hopeful Face? This is your final decision based on your own experience.SEE ALL CONTENT IN A SINGLE PLAYTHROUGH
I respect your time. You will not have to replay the game multiple times in order to see everything. You can experience virtually the entire game in one single playthrough, which might last about 1 hour and 30 minutes. This game is short and (hopefully) profound.I hope you enjoy.What Steam players say

If you are down here reading reviews to decide whether you want to buy this game or not, just buy it. Its an introspective piece that's trying to get you to think about how you perceive the world. If you made it this far then its worth 6 dollars. To the developer: I didn't like Fate or the pseudo-mechanical dice rolling idea until The Exile but I think that bit alone was worth it because the game is overall short. Good job. I think there is more to be done on the introspection front though. The small choices throughout the stories were often just frustrating because they came off as useless platitudes that didn't prompt anything further. The decision of which face of God to become at the end also feels like a non sequitur as, if you weren't already in an introspective mood when you started the game, the stories don't lend themselves to answering the question.6 found this helpful
Well... 3 novellas, all short, all on a slightly depressive side. Exactly what is says on the box, no less, no more. Anyways, the author is onto something here with the world, art style and god polemics. It just needs fleshing out.3 found this helpful
Interesting short read with fitting art and music. Would love to see a part 2 in similar style but longer and with choices that sculpt the game rather than being entirely for introspection. The game description sums up what it's about pretty well "3 short stories set in a mystical fantasy universe. You are a newborn Face of God. Hear tales of human suffering and triumph. Decide which Face of God you are. Pick a different fate for each main character. A short, linear experience that is introspective, emotional and spiritual."2 found this helpful
you are given three stories and asked to respond to them and decide how they conclude. at the end, you have to decide what your choices say about you. it's short but gripping and immersive. the characters are nuanced and the world building detailed are intriguing. if you like reflecting on stories and what fate you would prescribe their characters, i really recommend checking this game out!1 found this helpful
Good collection of stories with some fantastic world building
I had fun playing Firelore as my first experience of the genre.
