“When we created Fireside, we wanted to share a story about compassion and empathy in a way that was accessible to all, so bringing the game to Nintendo Switch has been really important to us,” said Paul Redetzky, CEO at Emergo Entertainment. “We are so excited to welcome new audiences to find their space at the fire, share their tales and champion our helping hand philosophies in Fireside!”


About Fireside

Embrace the ultimate wholesome hiking adventure in Fireside, with a captivating narrative that unfolds with every step you take! Traverse across a beautifully hand-drawn landscape as you travel between campsites and after each long day, rest by the campfire and meet a diverse cast of like minded travelers.  Through nonviolent interactions with characters, its calming soundtrack and tranquil environments to journey across, Fireside reminds us to take a break from everyday life stresses and enjoy our natural world.


At the end of each traveling day, gather around the campfire and share stories, explore 50+ classic camping recipes to create, and trade collectibles with fellow adventurers. Each interaction generates “soul energy” - a magical currency that can be used to upgrade the player’s home, which you can invite friends to visit, turning your base into a whimsical hub for shared experiences! Gathering with friends is at the heart of Fireside’s enchantment, fostering a profound sense of fellowship, connection and community with others.
