Huh, so here’s a thing — I’ve dabbled a little in these “job-like simulators.” Not much grabbed my attention, though. Well, apart from this bizarre afternoon with Power Wash Simulator where I got ridiculously engrossed. And yeah, these games kinda poke my brain, reminding me I’m still playing a video game — a bit annoying, right? Anyway, when this campfire-building-simulator showed up on the Nintendo showcase, I wasn’t like, “Another one? Seriously?” More like, “Wait, Oink’s doing this now?” Wild, right? They aren’t just into board games. Nope, they’re playing with fire. Literally. And honestly, it’s kinda…amazing?
So, Oink Games — if you know ‘em, you know their titles like Scout or A Fake Artist Goes to New York. They’ve got this sleek vibe going on — that’s all Jun Sasaki’s wizardry. A few years ago, they dropped Let’s Play: Oink Games on Switch and mobile. Let’s just say, I’ve spent ridiculous nights just laughing and playing these with pals. And now, with Chillin’ by the Fire, they’ve captured that whole social gaming thing again. Strange how deep a campfire can go, huh?
Alright, picture this: you start a level, and there’s a campfire in front of you with logs scattered about. You’ve got tongs, an igniter. Chuck those logs onto a chopping block, slice ‘em up, and pile them into a pit. Light ‘em up, and watch as the flames eat away at your brilliant arrangement of wood. It’s all about keeping that bad boy burning. Bigger logs feed it longer, little splinters spread it. Rotate, twist, turn those logs — like a wooden puzzle. Keep the fire roaring, that’s where it gets tricky!
Oh, and multiplayer? Total riot. Connect with friends, both online or locally, even if they don’t own the game. Hello, DS Download Play vibes! So, me and a buddy, trying to build this monster blaze — I managed logs, while they fetched more (teamwork, am I right?). Plus, fun stuff like, “What advice would you have given yourself a decade ago?” pops up — kinda makes you think. And the rewards for smashing through achievements? Points for funny stuff like glow sticks or musical instruments. Who knew?
Now, not all’s perfect — stacking pieces could be smoother with motion controls. Ever tried slipping a log in between others? Ends up on top. Bit annoying. And yeah, you can buy stuff like chairs or tents, but they’re just decoration. Not much else besides chatting or making a gigantic fire. But hey, it’s a chill, zen vibe. Perfect background for a hangout or multitasking hour.
For a campfire simulator, it’s surprisingly, well, extra. Yet, its focus on connecting people makes it a joy. Not in a million years did I think I’d recommend fire-building in 2025, but here we are. Now, when are speedrunners going to embrace their inner pyro with this thing?
