Starward Industries, previously known for the "walking simulator" The Invincible, is now preparing a new project called Into the Fire. A trailer with gameplay footage recently appeared online.
Into the Fire is positioned as an extraction project where players will have to rescue survivors, rationally use scarce resources, survive in a world with fiery anomalies, and "carve escape routes through ash and lava before the island buries them."
Players in Into the Fire will have a HUB-base: "it's not just a menu, but a living settlement shaped by the people you rescue." Survivors will bring skills, knowledge, and opportunities — from new gear to more effective firefighting equipment. According to the developers, the HUB will "grow or crumble depending on who you manage to save."
