- We signed with Inner Pocket! But also co-founded it? - 22 August 2026
Hello again!Apart from announcing the release date (October 12th), we got another, equally exciting news to share.We co-founded an indie publisher label!Behold: Inner Pocket, home of curiosity games! https://inner-pocket.comGames that begin with curiosity, lead to unexpected discoveries, and inspire conversations.

- Release date reveal! - 18 August 2026
We've kept you all in the dark for some time, but luckily everything comes to an end. Even the development cycle.It's time to release soon, and we're ready to announce the date: October 12th, 2026. That's in less than 2 months!Here's the new cool trailer for this occasion:We were initially planning to release in early September (hence the "Q3 release date window" we had before), but decided to shift the release. To have proper time for development, for marketing, and for a couple of other secret things :) Hope the wait will be worth it - at least we're trying to make it so by putting our hearts in the game.See you all very, very soon!

- Mega-collab - 13 June 2026
Have you ever said to yourself: "this narrative game is so good, I wish there was a reason to replay it and maybe even unlock something cool"?We got you covered with...Mega-collab!30+ artists are drawing alternative sprites for all 100 in-game cards. They can be unlocked by using this card in your successful chapter completion. Remember: there are no bad cards in Burn With Me, each one has a nice purpose or synergy :)All new unlocked artwork will be visible in Bestiary, where you would be able to set a new artwork as default for each individual card. And, of course, learn about all artists that offered us a part of their soul.Words can't convey how happy I am: talking to people, collaborating with other artists and our friends. People are awesome!Hope you'll enjoy this collab as well, and maybe it will inspire some of you to give chance to all the cards in Burn With Me.
- Burn With Me releasing soon! - 5 June 2026
We were just showcased in Women-Led Showcase: Summer Game Fest Edition!Eva, our sole artist and narrative designer, shared her small history of getting into gamedev, working on Burn With Me, and even showed some "behind the scenes". Video is just a little over 1 minute long, give it a watch.If you watched that video (or at least read the title), you also know...Burn With Me is releasing Q3 2026!!That means - July, August or September this year. We can't say yet when exactly, but it's in any case very soon! Also, this coincided very well with another thing...Burn With Me just reached 10.000 wishlists! 🥳It was an important "emotional" milestone for us, a reflection of the fact that we can choose to be weird with our games and not fall into obscurity completely.Thank you to everyone who is cheering us on this journey: we see and cherish all support 💛To make this moment even cooler (and a…

- Two new languages and other news - 18 May 2026
Hello-hello!After some consideration, we decided to add two new languages to the game: French and Portuguese (Brazil)!Each new language for a narrative game is never an easy choice, but hopefully a right one.

- Big milestone! - 12 April 2026
As the title suggests, we've reached a cool milestone: 100 creatures in-game! This includes all card imps, main characters, bosses, you name it. I can't say for certain how far we are from finishing the game, but at least I see an end to it all.Burn With Me is a compact game from a small team. And because of that, I feel it's even more important for us to go a little bit out the depth. Find all the weird and strong sides of the team and lean into them. You know, like draw 100+ unique characters for the game.Excited to show you the exciting and eerie world of Burn With Me, please wait a bit longer!Regarding the news...We've been nominated to "The Best German Prototype 2026"!!! Computerspielpreis is no joke, and we've already secured ourselves some money which we'll gladly channel towards some cool stuff in the game (and maybe even next games!).Another small piece of news is that we've re…

- Welcome back! - 18 June 2025
Hello, students!After we've made the successful Ludum Dare prototype of Burn With Me, we knew that full release was just a matter of time. Unfortunately, when core team is just a couple of people, it's hard to make several games at once. So, we decided to first finish Robot Detour. It was fun!After that — small break, and in January we started working on resurrecting Burn With Me. 5 months later we are here: with new crazy look, new crazy ideas for the game, and surprisingly even a story! With characters!We'll see where this adventure will lead us, and we don't want to spoil too much yet, but this is a wild ride, and we are enjoyng every second working on this game.Please look forward to it!- Nozomu Games team
