RetroStyle Games announced Flame and Blame on October 16. The first-person firefighter simulation supports solo play and up to four-player co-op, and is planned for PC via Steam in 2027. Players gear up at the station, ride a fire truck to the scene, and fight fires where physics simulation turns the hose into a hazard. Equipment includes a fire axe, oxygen mask, and trampoline. According to the Steam store page, Japanese in-game text is planned, and playtesters are being recruited.
The studio behind the game is RetroStyle Games, based in Ukraine, founded in 2010 with more than 200 members. Its past work includes art production for Blue Prince, Gothic 1 Remake, and Titan Quest II, and it has developed and sold Ocean Keeper: Dome Survival and Last Pirates: Die Together.
The trailer shows the town being extinguished by collapsing a dam. Rescue targets include cats, dogs, and pandas alongside residents, and the game supports in-game voice chat. A console version is being considered after the PC release, and applications for playtesting go through the Request Access button on the Steam store page.
