As you travel deeper into the lands beyond the dark forest, you'll encounter 'Forlorn' souls who have lost hope. By solving environmental puzzles and navigating mysterious ruins, you'll help these lost folk find their spark and light the last campfire. It is a story of empathy, perseverance, and discovery.

Our Expert Score
The Last Campfire is a rare gem that manages to be both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant. Developed by a small team at Hello Games, it carries a sense of wonder and intimacy that is often lost in larger productions. The puzzles are expertly paced—never so difficult that they frustrate, but clever enough to provide a genuine 'aha!' moment when solved.
What truly elevates the experience is the atmosphere. The narration is gentle and supportive, making the world feel like a dark fairytale that you are carefully piecing back together. It deals with heavy themes like grief and hopelessness, but it does so with such tenderness that you finish the game feeling uplifted. It’s a short, polished, and profoundly moving journey that everyone should experience.

Each Forlorn you encounter represents a mini-puzzle dungeon. Completing these challenges rewards you with 'hope' and progresses the main narrative towards the campfire.
