One of my favorite games, my review from 2020:

One of the most surprising and deeply insightful games of 2020 goes to The Last Campfire by Hello Games. At the outset, it appeared like a Monument Valley puzzle solving game with a cute character that you controlled in a simple yet colorful world. As you progress you realize quickly there is a much deeper theme and allegory that this game offers that reflect on life and death, a fitting theme to this year.

After playing through this and thinking about this, I think it's an amazing conceptualization of understanding life and death in a non-religious way. I think all of us fear and doubt the end of life and what comes after death. For many, religion brings solace teaching of an afterlife, but for those who aren't religious, or for those doubting religion, the emptiness of nothingness can be daunting.

The Last Campfire reflects on this theme with Ember and the Wanderer as the focus. Ember encounters many lost souls (Forlorn) on the brink of death in the purgatory of regret for things that they did or didn't do in life. They are unable to progress nor find the peace to reach their resting place. Ember seeks to help them on their journey, not to redeem them, but to bring them onward on their journey to the end.

In the very end though, faced with the possibility of nothingness in the destination beyond, it is the solace of knowing that we don't go alone to this last place and that everyone is traveling together on this path that should bring us comfort even if it doesn't lead anywhere or mean anything.

It's the paths that we take that matter, the others that we have met and paths that have we have crossed that provide meaning to our lives. None of us will be ready for the end and it is natural to be scared, but we will all go together into that final place of rest.

"There is a place that the lost embers go, as their light begins to fade" -- The Last Campfire.

I enjoyed this game a lot on Switch. It has fun puzzles, a charming aesthetic, and nice voice naration. At $1.50 it's an easy yes, and I'll pick it up on Steam too.

Looks like the same price on Xbox and PSN if you are looking to get it for console.

Had a lot of fun playing through this. It's sort, but had an interesting little tale and unique and fun puzzles. I'd recommend.

Damn, had bought already in February for $2.99 and into the backlog it went. Good find though!

Quick FYI this is on Apple Arcade and plays on all devices including Apple TV if you happen to subscribe.

Fun game, might visit after a couple years when I forget the puzzles

Mod can delete if you want. Didn't realize the person before me pointed it out

Really well done but rather casual puzzle game. It's been in a lot of bundles so I'm not sure this is a particularly unusual price...
