HOW TO PLAY
Move your finger / mouse (or arrows) — carry the brazier. Catch the gold embers: +1 and the flame grows. Catching grey ash chokes the flame; letting an ember die in the snow starves it. When the flame is gone, the night wins. M mutes.
THE STORY
Every fire that ever burned sent some of itself upward. The sky kept it all. One night each winter, the sky leans down and gives it back — a slow rain of embers over the one brazier still standing. The keeper catches what she can. The snow takes the rest.
