About the Game

Incense Nook

A tiny incense burner that lives in the corner of your desktop.

Pick up a stick of incense, place it in the burner, and let it slowly burn down. It gives off smoke, earns incense fire, and eventually leaves an empty slot for the next time you remember it exists.

Unlock new incense and new burners as you go. Some incense burns fast, some lasts much longer. Some burners like being filled up. Some seem to reward oddly specific rituals. There is no grand quest here. Mostly, you watch smoke curl upward, collect a little fire, change your burner, and make your desktop feel slightly more ceremonial.
