A downloadable game for Windows and macOS


The fire ten years ago took away all your memories of him. When he came back to you, did you remember him? In other words, are you still the same people?

Arson doesn't care. All he knew was that he wanted to keep you, with everything he had.

Death by fire means born of fire.

  • The demo has two endings and takes about 5-10 minutes to play.

  • In the future, I may make changes to the game art and so on. If you encounter any bugs or text errors, please let me know. You can also tell me about your experience, which is very important to me!

This game definitely has potential, but it didn't make sense in terms of the basic foundation of the situation.

(+1)

(+1)

hi! can i post his image/pic on tiktok? Btw love the designs!

Yep, just contain the source and author in it.

(+2)

I loved it! I can't wait for more, or even just knowing when we get more. Though I don't want to sound rude, but I would like to mention the writing was a bit confusing at times. But over all it was great and I'm exited!

Well, the original text was written in Chinese, and then translated into English, so there are probably more errors than we expected. Nevertheless, we would try to fix the in the next build!

(+2)

🤍LOVE THIS GAME🖤

tysm!!❤️❤️🔥

HE'S SO CUTE I CAN'T

can I upload your game on YouTube

yeah!But please remember to indicate the source and author!

(+1)

Good game! I can't wait for the full version so I can learn Aron's past (and to see his face under the mask too)

tysm!I also really want to know what's beneath his mask heh😈😈

based on your nickname and the text in the game, I can assume that the author of the game is not a native English speaker. in this case, I want to ask, will there be Russian localization? If I made a mistake, please forgive me, I'm sorry. thank you in advance for the answer.

As the translator/co-creator,  I know that she’s from the Western Side of the Formosan Strait (I’m from the East side), and the text was originally in Chinese before the translation.

If there are any unnatural sentences/usages, feel free to tell us!

It depends on the situation. If we can find volunteers who can provide Russian translation, then there will be Russian translation!

I will be very honest, I was attracted to this game because the LI (Arson, really tip of the nose) looked like Scaramouche from Genshin Impact, however as I played I started to enjoy my time with it. I like how bleak MC's life was before Arson came in. But in that bleakness was their sad normal life, it was also interesting to see how MC is so disconnected with people, I wonder if it's due to the accident that changed MC (if they had  a different kind of attitude back then) or if MC just had to do what they had to do to survive.

I also like how you designed Arson, he looks like such a pretty boy with trauma (and the half mask made me think of Phantom of the Opera) but when he speaks, the way you write his dialogue is like he isn't even on the same reality as MC. It's like they're living on different planes of existence with how detached Arson seems to be. And the scars on him, Arson what happened??? (and the off-screen murder let's not forget about it but like, was Arson telling the truth when he said he saw a man spinning in front of the door because that is such a random thing lmao)

Not only that, but Ending 1?? I got Ending 2 because I was curious over what Arson would say if we were obedient but I think it's a continuation of the next update-- BUT ENDING 1?? Man that was actually unnerving, the way you drew it and how Arson said that everything would be perfect?? Chills! Was he holding a nailgun?? Or was it a chair?? Either way, absolutely terrifying I want to know more.

Great little demo too!!!

(+2)

I am very happy to receive your long comment! In fact, he has a small saw in his hand (not sure if you've ever seen a saw in this shape) glad this demo gives you some mystery! I will answer these questions in the following updates!

(+1)

Ohh I actually haven't seen a saw in that shape but man-- RIP MC, they lived a good enough life :'))))

Looking forward to your lil QnA!

(+6)

My boy looks like Scaramouche pookie bear 5 out of 5

😳💞tksm!

(+1)

Can't wait to learn more of the MC's past with Arson and learn more about his character and personality, we didn't get too much time to interact with him yet, but I already thought he was adorable when he was looking up at the MC and putting cartoons for them lmao, I love the art and I wanna give him lots of head-pats!

(+1)

Vodka actually have already posted a sneak peak of the canon lore on Tumblr here: https://www.tumblr.com/deathbyfirevn/723507415437426688/so-arson-actually-knew-m...

As for the deeper story, it would be updated in the game! There's no way we would spoil it here! 

(+1)

Ooh thank you for this, scratches some of the curiosity itch (and their childhood story sounds adorable)! Seems like there will be angst waiting, I'm looking forward to it!

(+1)

Stay hyped! The next build is in development!

(+2)

good game!

thank u so much❤️❤️

Thanks for the compliment!

(+3)(-2)

This guy kinda looks pretty young how old is he?

(+1)

22! Here's a canon reference sheet!

(-1)

Oh cool thanks :D

(+1)

There's actually more art on Vodka's Tumblr account! 

Here's the link: https://www.tumblr.com/deathbyfirevn

I will check it out!

(+2)

首先,劇情深度太低,身為一個,文本選擇遊戲,你可以靠精彩的插畫來脫引而出,也可以靠精彩的劇情來捕獲玩家的心,但這遊戲在我看來以上都沒有,它鋪墊的確很完美,音樂也很棒,但這個結尾讓我覺得我好像是在享用一餐美宴的時候最後廚師卻端上一盤大便,當然也有可能是因為我即不是腐女也不是gay,所以我對這個收尾完全得不到共鳴,在我看來,這遊戲就像是女性版galgame,以galgame的角度上它無疑是合格的,但這遊戲的開頭讓我期待它會是個精彩的恐怖遊戲,最後卻選擇自降身段成為一個普通的galgame

(+2)

很高兴收到你的评论!我认为你说得对,做为一个带有恐怖标签的demo,它的剧情的确太过平淡,cg和选项也相对较少,流程也很短。(这些也是我自己玩过后得出的结论)总之,我已经收到你的建议!在以后的更新中,我会记得注意这些!

(1 edit) (+1)

The background music doesn’t seem to fit the atmosphere. Like when Arson told you “You can only watch me”, the music should be more eerie and tense. However, the audio that lasts throughout the last scenes just lingered there, and it was such a pity.

Thanks for your comments! Listening to you say so, I also feel that the game's music does have some shortcomings, I will try to change them in the next update!

YOOO I'd check itchio as usual for the funsies and then I saw a new game get added in! I'll try this later <33 I hope to see more ~ ( ps I'll come back when I've played thisss )
