In a world where making love without being in love will make you spontaneously combust, the person you love most may be the one who burns you!

You play as Yun, an up-and-coming photographer struggling to balance his life and the relationship with his live-in girlfriend, Chitra. But you’ll also get to experience events from Chitra’s perspective...
Uncover the story of their relationship from the perspective of two characters – recalling memories by fiddling through Yun’s things, looking at newspaper headlines, playing mini-games and listening to different music.

Complete a photobook for Chitra. The photos you choose will reflect what memories Chitra recalls. Find hidden objects through Fires at Midnight’s “Second Layer” – the way our characters truly see the world – and dive deep into the mysteries surrounding the game. Solve puzzles and complete mini-games will aid you to learn the whole story.
Choose wisely before the clock strikes midnight… and the new year sets in!
