Firefight

The player will immerse themselves in Chicago history as they experience the Great Chicago Fire firsthand. They will be taken through a branching narrative and will need to successfully navigate their way through a series of choices to make it to safety.

The Great Chicago Fire was one of the largest disasters in the city's history. The fire killed 300 people, and destroyed 9 square kilometers of property, leaving 100,000 people homeless. The fire was responsible for a large social upheaval of Chicago as well, with a flurry of large-scale media coverage, as well as efforts all across the United States to help rebuild the city.

Live through the event yourself, as you follow your journalist brother through the city. Try and navigate your way through burning buildings and tough decisions. Do you think you can outlast the fire that burned for two days?
