Keep the Fire Alive

Lost in the woods at night, you are not alone. Your campfire is your companion and only hope for rescue. If fed, it will provide light for you to search the area for supplies. Build it up high enough to be noticed by the rescue chopper and you just might survive the night.


Controls

  • Click on the ground to walk there
  • Click on an item to pick it up
  • Click and hold to drag an item out of your inventory to where you want it to go and then release.

Tips

  • Be quick! The fire will die down over time.
  • Start small. A small fire can’t support a large piece of wood, and will instead smoke and go out. Try using moss as tinder.
  • Get big. Larger fuel burns longer, which you need to grow to maximum size. 
  • Large pieces of fuel temporarily shrink your fire as the wood heats up, but they will pay off big in the long run.
  • Try exploring in all directions. Burn enough big branches to grow the light to the farthest reaches - that's where logs can be found.
  • Look for backpacks! Finding the large bag will be very helpful.
  • If you burn up all the good stuff and want to try again, use the water bucket.
