Lucien Masson rated Into the Flames

Lucien Masson rated a storygame 5 years ago
A downloadable storygame.

I've always loved role playing games that aren't based on fighting system and even more the ones that flourish on a small starting concept to create unique atmospheric experiences. As a young game designer myself, it's the kind of game that I love to make the most, and therefore, to play. This game really nailed it, I love everything from the base concept of the burning, which is very powerful, to the rules that gives your group the liberty you need to make the experience really yours. I have a special feeling for GM free games and the way it’s done in Into the Flames is very interesting as it really serves the ambiance and narration. I really like the way players go from character to deciding figures as their pilgrim disappear. It creates a really interesting dynamic and avoid the problem of ousted players, waiting for the game to end. There is also a take in the game on inclusivity and making the playtime fun for everyone and that’s really nice and often lacking. I really like the use of “moves” to help the more reserved to contribute.
I’m so glad i’ve found it thanks to the Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality, your work is super inspiring and i’m looking forward to play your other games, thanks you !

TLDR : This game is a gem, quick to learn and super accessible. Original and cool atmosphere. I love it and I can’t wait to test it in different settings.
