First Fires is an independent video game studio based in the North of England.

We make games focused on interactive narratives about people living their lives against all odds. We are small, and we believe in creativity over profit, and sustainability over endless growth.

We are owned by us.

From every email we send, to every line of code written, every pixel on screen, and every word a character speaks, not a single thing is touched by generative AI. Our games are free from the technofeudalist mind-virus, and always will be for as long as we have control of the name First Fires.

We are currently working on our debut title: Occlusion, a narrative puzzle adventure game set in the fictional town of Wollinden on the North Yorkshire coast ten years after a strange event has cut off large parts of the world from one another. The game follows a nameless worker dispatched to investigate and contain supernatural phenomena in the town who becomes unwittingly tangled up in the stories of the people who live there, and the strange forces at work all around them.

We're excited to share more in the coming months.
