About the Game

In Brand Nacht, you play as Jens, a firefighter who recently joined a small station expecting constant action and adrenaline. Instead, there are days, sometimes weeks, where no callouts happen at all.
Bored out of his mind, he waits for the alarm that just doesn't seem to go off.

When it finally does, he sleeps through it.

He wakes to find his crew has left him behind. Stuck in the empty station and far from the action, he's been tasked with doing the laundry. But the laundry room key is missing.  
As he is forced to search the station, he waits for the sign to join the call. But the station stays silent, and his desire for a raging fire only builds.

Waking in the middle of the night during your 24-hour shift, you find the station completely empty. A ringing phone pierces the silence. It's your crewmate, filling you in on what happened.  You slept through the first callout in weeks, and your crew has left you behind.

Your only connection to the action is Rein, your crewmate on the scene, calling with updates.

Stuck in the quiet station, you wait and hope to get called in as backup. In the meantime, you're tasked with doing the laundry. And to make it worse, the laundry key is missing.

 

Explore the detailed rooms of the station and discover the routines and patterns of the other firefighters. Follow the clues to find the missing laundry room key.

 

 

Stay updated through phone calls with your crewmate on the scene.

Collect your personal belongings scattered around the station.

 

 

Brand Nacht is a satirical, very short walking simulator about boredom, inertia, the desire for action and the unseen side of firefighting.
