Gameplay
The Last Campfire is a puzzle game. The player assumes control of a soul named Ember, who must solve various environmental puzzles to help fellow forlorn souls who have lost hope to find their purposes. As the player saves all the Forlorns in an area, new areas will be unlocked.[1] As players progress, they would meet and assist various non-playable characters, who will give Ember new items for solving puzzles.[2] Players can play the game in "explore mode", which removes most of the puzzles in the game.[3]

Development
The game was created by Steve Burgess, Chris Symonds, and James Chilcott.[4] They had all previously worked at Frontier Developments and released LostWinds and its sequel, Winter of the Melodias. The game was largely inspired by folk tales and story books, including those written by Brian Froud.[5] The game was developed primarily for Apple's mobile devices, as the team programmed the game's control with touch screens in mind.[6][4]
