Blending action, survival, gripping tales, and psychological depth, Into the Fire delivers an intense, genre-bending experience. You’ll be immersed in a hypnotic vision where science meets mysticism, pushing you to cross the gates of hell and save just one more life.

Wield tactical extinguisher weapons and fantastic retro inventions. Expand base, dive into mystical tales, rituals and unexplained phenomena, while rescuing people and animals.

You are a bold explorer struggling to survive during a volcanic eruption on Dante’s Archipelago. With the world collapsing around you, you must rescue as many lives as possible through lava and ash. Navigate crumbling landscapes, outrun firestorms, and unearth secrets buried deep in the volcanic abyss—facing its demons and an onslaught of ever-shifting threats and strange anomalies that fuel the chaos.

Armed with unconventional tools—fire-extinguishing shotguns, seismic scanners, and retro-futuristic inventions—you must race against time to save lives while unraveling fiery myths, confronting enigmatic forces of nature, and uncovering dark rituals lurking within the inferno.

The Hub will be your sanctuary—a place to regroup, craft essential survival tools, upgrade gear, rest in a garden, choose the equipment that determines your playstyle and piece together the island’s ominous past. Beyond its walls, something terrifying is waiting.

The game’s world pulses with a distinct retro aesthetic, capturing the golden age of scientific ambition intertwined with folklore and the supernatural—offering a survival experience that leaves you breathless with every burning step.

Once its breath reaches you, every second counts.

Into the Fire is exploding into Steam Early Access later this year.

“We firmly believe that the new title conveys more about the gameplay and the atmosphere present in the game and that it will ignite your hearts even more,” said Maciej Dobrowolski, CMO at Starward Industries. "The hypnotic, raw power of the volcano will lead you straight Into the Fire."
