Kindling 1.2 — Written in Ash

2026-09-10 07:32 UTC · Community Announcements · Mike from Talonbyte

Kindling 1.2 is out now. There is more to remember, more to discover, and more waiting for you when you return to the forest. Every death leaves a page behindWhat killed you shapes the warning you leave behind. Return to the chamber and find a warning in your own handwriting, then keep it to read again. Forty to recover. Some lessons are written in ash. Before you wokeA new opening film shows what happened before your first descent. It plays the first time you take a new witch into the forest, and you can skip it. A little more to come back withYour first deaths now give you more to work with.

HDR On an HDR-capable display, fire burns as bright as it was meant to. HDR is enabled by default, and you can calibrate it in Settings. Under the hood Updated to Godot 4.7 for better performance across the board Stability improvements

The Forest Now ReactsBreak all the seals and the world knows. Fog rolls in. The sky darkens. Everything shifts. We've also given the forest a ghostlier look—your fire burns brighter against the shadows, and threats are easier to spot before they kill you. Mushroom EscortNew encounter. Glowing mushrooms need to reach their destination. Their spores are lethal to anything that gets close—but they're fragile. Keep them alive. ChestsFind a chest, make a choice. Three upgrades, pick one: move faster, throw fire quicker, or cooldown your campfire sooner. Every run plays different. New EnemiesSomethi
