Flame

Description

You tend a small flame. You click Like. You drop shapes into the burn chamber to feed it. You buy upgrades to make the fire brighter, hotter, more efficient.

How to play:

• Click Like to feed the flame
• Drop Pellets, Blocks, and Shards into the chamber
• Buy upgrades to improve your lighter, your fuel, or your control tools
• Watch what happens when the system gets smarter than your ability to manage it

The game rewards you for being efficent. The numbers go up. The fire looks better. You're playing well.

Then the interface starts to burn. Your control tools stop keeping up. The system you optimized is feeding itself now, and you built every part of it.

Flame is a short single-session game about how ordinary actions become part of something bigger than you intended. It never mentions the internet, but you might recognize the shape of what's underneath.
