About
Are the pains and social conflicts we endure today the ultimate consequences of our ancestors’ mistakes?
History flows as a trajectory to the present, and our society is the product of that history. The Fire Nobody Started follows the lives of ancestors, beginning in England and continuing into America.
This game retraces the paths leading to the present, exploring the roads not taken and the aspirations of those seeking dreamlike destinations.
This game is an adventure divided into nine train cars, each representing an era in the journey of a family of Irish descent, spanning from the Industrial Revolution in England to the Vietnam War in America. Players will move sequentially through each train car, interacting with characters from each era to explore its historical context.
Through this journey, players will experience the flow of modern history and its paradigm shifts. From urbanization to the global shift of focus toward America, the game examines major transitions like the move from Newtonian worldviews to quantum theories, and the human rights movements of each era, offering an immersive perspective on history centered around England and America.
Each train car is carefully crafted to mirror the trains of its era, incorporating the artistic movements of the time. Every car showcases a distinct art style, delivering a visually captivating and immersive experience—a hallmark of the game.
While this is a linear text-graphic adventure with a predetermined outcome, the compelling stories of its characters and the game’s meticulous historical accuracy ensure a memorable experience for all players.

Stunning visual novel which makes you to contemplate the history, present, and the future of human being + Striking arts and atmosphere
Short visual novel that gives you discomfort and thoughts. Artwork was what drew me in. See you in the world. 불편함과 생각할 거리를 주는 짧은 비주얼 노벨. 아트가 참 좋다. 현실에서 봅시다.
게임보다는 나아가는 모두의 이야기를 엿볼 수 있는 하나의 긴 이야기다. 구매한 값이 아깝지는 않았다. 한번쯤 해본다면 아름다움과 동시에 추악함도, 고결함도 느낄 수 있는 이야기.
우리는 무엇을 위해 과거의 목소리를 듣는가? 우리는 어째서 과거를 기억해야 하는가? 이 게임은 그 답을 알려줄 것이다.
한마디 한마디가 많은 생각이 들게 했습니다 나아가라
这是一辆历史的列车,游戏玩法相当单一,内容很严肃,受众不会太广。但是画风我太喜欢了。
This is a great game which showed me that a short playtime can tell a deep enough story. This game asks us philosophical questions about "what progress" is, but also answers how we should do it. It tells us these stories in a natural way with stunning art and direction. I realy enjoy whole play time!
A quick ride of the history of humanity that's pretty good. I could refund since I finished in under 2 hours, but I won't. A memento of this train ride would be nice
오브젝트 헤드
I was drawn to this game by its theme and captivating art style. It’s a short playthrough and a simple point-and-click game, but the art and well-placed sound effects made it an immersive experience. Given the heavy subject matter, I personally felt that the playtime was just right. It’s a compelling game and definitely worth keeping in my collection.
