Overview
Brand Nacht is a free-to-play walking simulator that trades adrenaline for absurdity. You play as Jens, a firefighter who joined a small station expecting nonstop action.
Instead, he waits—sometimes for weeks—for an alarm that rarely rings. When it finally does, he sleeps through it.
The crew leaves him behind, and his new task is simple: do the laundry. But the laundry room key is missing, and Jens is left to wander the empty station, hoping for a sign that he can join the call.
The station stays silent, and his longing for a raging fire only grows.
Developed and published by Evita Julia, this short, story-rich experience blends satire and comedy with atmospheric exploration. It launched on October 16, 2026, and supports English and Dutch.
The game is designed for solo play, with no multiplayer component.
