We have a very warm piece of news to share.

Fireside Feelings has been selected among the three finalists of the Pégases 2026,
in the category “Beyond Video Games”.

This nomination means a great deal to us.
Fireside Feelings was created from a simple desire: to offer a calm, welcoming space where people can take their time, listen to one another, and share sincere thoughts by the fire.

Seeing this intention recognized today is deeply encouraging for our small team.

We also want to say thank you.
To everyone who sat by the fire, shared something personal, or simply listened.
This game exists because of you.

Whatever comes next, this selection already feels like a victory we share together.

Thank you for being here, and for keeping Fireside Feelings so gentle and alive.

See you by the fire.

Hello everyone! 🔥

Today, we have some wonderful news to share with you.

The Fireside Feelings demo is now available on Steam, and it doesn’t come alone!

If you’ve never spent time by the fire with us before, this is the perfect opportunity to discover the experience: taking your time, talking, listening, and sharing honest thoughts in a gentle and welcoming space.

And for those of you who are already regulars around the fire, we’re also adding a brand-new duo of conversation themes.

• Grandparents

A theme filled with memories, legacy, quiet moments, and everything these unique bonds leave behind within us.

• Art

Why we create, what art brings into our lives, the doubts we sometimes have around this word, how art helps us understand the world and sometimes, ourselves.

These new conversations are available right now in the full game.

Whether you’re discovering Fireside Feelings for the first time or you’re already used to the warmth of the fire, we hope these discussions will bring you comfort.

Thank you for being here, for sharing, and for helping this space stay so gentle.

See you soon by the fire.

ello everyone,

We wanted to share a piece of exciting news with you 💛

Our next game, The Granny Detective Society, now has a playable demo available on Steam, released as part of the Steam Detective Fest, which starts today 🔍✨

The Granny Detective Society is a cozy, funny, and heartfelt detective adventure where observation is key, secrets hide in plain sight, and grandmothers may be living very unexpected double lives.

If you enjoyed the calm, emotional tone of Fireside Feelings, and if you love narrative-driven games that take their time, we think this new project might resonate with you.

If you’d like to support us:

• Play the demo

• Add the game to your Steam wishlist

Thank you for your continued kindness and support. It truly means the world to us 💛

Hello beautifull campfire people ♥

After weeks of whispers behind lace curtains and suspiciously well-timed knitting clicks…

We can finally say it:

The Steam page for The Granny Detective Society is now LIVE!

And yes… the very first trailer is out too.

From her window, Madelaine (a retired little mouse) watches her street, pins secrets on her board, and slowly uncovers the truth…

until a mysterious sisterhood of spy grandmothers pulls her into something much bigger than she ever imagined.

> Everyone has a double life.

> Especially the grannies.

Here are the key features of The Granny Detective Society :

• Observation & deduction gameplay

• Multiple Grannytectives with unique abilities

• Cozy retro mini-games hiding clues

• A single street, a looping timeline, and a mystery that unfolds at your own pace

• A warm, funny, heartfelt world full of secrets

Please, consider wishlist the game on Steam (it helps us more than you know :yellow_heart:)

This is just the beginning of the investigation… and we’re so excited to finally share it with you all.

With love & biscuits,

Vidu & Jaximus

This update focuses on fixing bugs in the Old-School Messaging scene, along with a few quality-of-life improvements.

Updates:

• Correct positioning when opening the Old-School Messaging scene

• Editing a message bubble in Old-School Messaging is no longer a nightmare (finally!)

• Added a button to skip the Polaroid development step → some players were stuck there

• Navigating text inside a bubble with the arrow keys no longer moves the camera

• Optimization to prevent crashes when sending a message with Ctrl + Enter

🙏 Thanks to all the new players who took the time to report these issues.

And a huge thank-you to all players for your support and love ❤️

Hey everyone! 🔥

We’ve got a little surprise to warm up your fall. 🍁

This Sunday, October 26, Fireside Feelings will be featured in a Daily Deal, with the biggest discount we’ve ever done! If you’ve been waiting to grab the game (or to gift it to a friend), this will be the perfect time. ✨

But that’s not all ! we’re also releasing a surprise update! 🌿

It adds a brand-new discussion theme about autumn — a gentle new conversation inspired by falling leaves, pumpkins, and quiet warmth.

Just a small thank-you for being here, still talking, feeling, and sharing with us. 💛

See you around for the campfire, and enjoy the autumn breeze by the fire. 🍂🔥 ❤️

Hello everyone!

Today is a very special day for us: Fireside Journey, our artbook-but-not-just-an-artbook of Fireside Feelings, is finally out!

After the release of Fireside Feelings, our publisher offered to make a traditional artbook using the visuals from development. We loved the idea but we also wanted to tell that story our own way.

So right after finishing our very first game, we started working on a second one: much smaller, but just as personal. A gentle, interactive journey retracing how Fireside Feelings came to life and how friendship and creativity guided us all along.

We’ve even made a trailer that shares the whole story (complete with a *terrible English accent*, sorry in advance 😅) and celebrates the friendship between Jaximus and me, which runs through everything we make.

💛 Fireside Journey is a self-published, self-financed project, offered at a small price and 100% of its revenue goes directly to us.
It’s a love letter to everyone who enjoyed Fireside Feelings, and to anyone who believes in heartfelt, handmade games.

It’s available right now[testx-steam.c5game.com/steamstore]

We truly hope you’ll enjoy it. See you around the campfire. 🔥
