Fire: The First Dreamer

Fire: The First Dreamer is an open-world survival and exploration game set in the Preseli Mountains of Wales. You play as a seeker guided by Fire, exploring a wilderness shaped by myth and forgotten history as you try to awaken the sleeping Dragon and restore harmony between humanity and nature. The world spans over 40 square miles, and the story is designed to take over 30 hours.

The old pact

In the world’s early days, the Gods and the spirits of nature made a pact to help humanity survive. Animals, plants, mountains and the ocean offered gifts of warmth, shelter, food and guidance in return for people protecting the balance of the world. The Gods also gave humanity Fire as a ritual guide to keep the mind connected to nature, and asked the Dragon to guard the secrets of a good life.

Over time, people forgot the pact, abandoned their rituals and became driven by jealousy and greed. The old beings withdrew, and nature responded with upheaval. In a new age of renewal, echoes of the pact return through the dreams of a chosen few. You are one of these seekers, following Fire’s guidance to uncover what was forgotten.

Explore and survive

You travel through forests, mountains, caves and ancient ruins, hunting, foraging and learning to live with the land’s rhythms. Predators share the wilderness, and you must defend yourself from them. Weather, daylight and the natural rhythms of the environment shape your journey.

Dreams and totems

Fire guides you through dreams and visions, revealing hidden paths, ancient memories and glimpses of the Dragon’s wisdom. The dreams, choices and spirits you encounter can lead to different Totem Animals and gifts on each playthrough, making each journey different.

Totem animals are ancient spirits tied to the land. Their powers can help with survival, hunting, exploration and uncovering the world’s mysteries. You also encounter mythical creatures and spirits whose knowledge is connected to living in balance.

Puzzles and nightmares

Ancient symbols carved into stone form a language you must learn to read. Their messages reveal knowledge and help you solve environmental puzzles throughout the landscape. When harmony is broken, the dream fractures and Nightmares emerge in brief encounters that challenge your resolve and threaten your path.

Restore the balance

The story is inspired by a true story and includes moral and ethical choices. You can take part in sacred practices meant to tether the mind and maintain harmony with nature, while your actions affect the balance between you and the natural world. Dreams guided by Fire lead toward the dormant Dragon, whose wisdom holds the key to restoring harmony.
