Burn baby burn.

Embr has the player taking on the role of a firefighter in an attempt to try to save people from burning buildings in a weird little game. The first level is pretty straightforward. Beautiful house, fire, people to rescue, and then extra money to find to try to perfect the level. With good fire physics and a good style, Embr seems good.

Though I think Embr’s main gameplay is overshadowed a bit by the alternate ways to play each level. My personal favorite was when Embr tasked me with destroying a building. There was also extinguishing the fire, a mode to loot the house, and a final option to deliver food in the middle of the fire. The levels are also pretty varied, with many of them being different types of tenements, which are fun and challenging to explore. There’s a good amount of levels here as well.

Pick this up if you want something fun to play for a few sessions. This game will last a bit but also is a touch shallow. Most levels are just set up to save people in different places on bigger levels, but if you’re going to be going for 100 percent, you’re going to have to search these levels thoroughly , though it’d probably be easier to just look up where the key items are for the most part. I still had a very good time though.
