About the Game

Bonfire Buddies is an online co-op survival game where you and your friends must keep the fire alive through the night.

Venture into the darkness to gather wood, fend off enemies, and make it back before the fire burns out. The farther you go, the greater the risk — and the reward.

Work together, manage your resources, and survive as long as you can.

  • Online Co-op gameplay — survive the night with friends

  • Simple, replayable loop — gather, return, repeat

  • Risk vs reward exploration — go farther for better resources

  • Dynamic survival pressure — the fire is always burning down

  • Atmospheric environment — dark, tense, and unpredictable

Bonfire Buddies is currently in Early Access.

The core multiplayer survival experience is fully playable, and we’re actively working on expanding the game with new content, enemies, and mechanics.

Your feedback will help shape the future of the game.
