Chillin’ by the Fire is a campfire simulation game developed by Oink Games and released on July 31, 2025, exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2. Priced at $15 on the Nintendo eShop, the title immerses players in a serene low-poly environment where they must split and stack firewood, dry out damp logs, and fan the flames to maintain a stable, level-10 blaze. The game emphasizes real-time management of airflow, wood moisture, and environmental factors such as low temperatures, while HDR support enhances the warm, flickering glow of the campfire.

The title offers three distinct gameplay modes: Normal, where players focus on steadily growing the fire; Survival, which imposes a limited supply of wood; and Playground, a multiplayer mode for up to four participants to collaborate or compete in building the largest fire. Chillin’ by the Fire leverages the Switch 2’s GameShare feature so that one copy can host up to four players online or locally, and includes GameChat and CameraPlay options to display participants’ faces around the virtual campfire. Onscreen “Campfire Convo” prompts facilitate conversation, and additional activities such as marshmallow roasting, fireworks, and spooky story-telling further enrich the communal experience.
