But that's not all - we will have a new conversation pack, dropping in a few days.

The topics:
* Fears and Hopes
* Sweetness
* Neither Yes, Nor No

Keep your eyes peeled: store.steampowered.com/news/app/299...

Why your support matters:
* 125 people die by suicide every week.
* Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50.
* Suicide is the leading cause of death for people aged 15-39.

So, grab a game (or two) and play your part against suicide.

A blurred background showing Paris rooftops and the Eiffel Tower in a soft, sunset light. The quote on it reads: "After playing it, I can truly say that Fireside Feelings has had a positive impact on my mental health. I’ve been playing this game for about half an hour right before going to sleep and it’s provided me with a nice therapeutic experience."

Everyone needs other people. 💖

"Maybe #FiresideFeelings will restore my faith in people and prove good for my health. That talking bear, honeybee, or cat sitting opposite me is someone I don't know talking in a safe space but from a far distance."

It’s not always easy to talk about feelings — but doing so is a brave step toward growing up and healing.
For many of you, opening up with Spark was the beginning, and we’re truly proud of you. 👏

Sometimes we just need that small boost of serotonin. 💛

A close-up illustration of a blue cat character with a purple stripe on its forehead, smiling gently with eyes closed while cuddling a soft, round, bee plush toy. The plush has brown fur, cookie-like eyes, and tiny limbs. The cat wears an orange hoodie and appears to be filled with warmth and comfort. In the background, soft string lights glow, adding a cozy atmosphere.

Remember your inner child — speak to yourself the way you would to the little you who needed love, not judgment. 🫂

Spark will always be there to listen.

#FiresideFeelings

A cozy, illustrated nighttime campfire scene with a talking flame sitting between a blue cat character in an orange hoodie and a brown bear character in green pajamas. The flame has a friendly face and is speaking in soft, rounded speech bubbles that read:

"I have a secret to tell you."

"Right now, I am 236 years old."

"Which makes me, I imagine, in some way, older than you."

"And yet, despite my age, I still learn so much from you, and it's always inspiring."

The background shows a peaceful night landscape with hills, trees, and a cabin with a lit window.

Take a moment to pause, breathe, hydrate, and do something kind for yourself—you deserve it.

If you're in the mood for connection, join Spark in #FiresideFeelings for a cosy campfire chat.
Let's put our feelings into words, one discussion at a time, together. 🧡

A screenshot from the game Fireside Feelings. The screen shows a wall with string lights as the backdrop of the image. In the forefront is a cartoon version of a Polaroid picture. In the picture, two characters sit across from each other over a fire. They are in the woods at night. The scene is very tranquil. On the left side is a bear with dark brown fur and soft brown marks on his cheeks, wearing a purple shirt and blue jeans. He is sitting on a couple of pillows and has a fox stuffie sitting behind him. A cup of cocoa sits steaming in front of the fire. Sitting across from him is a cat. She is sitting on a log. Her fur is a dusky blue, with light blue markings on her face. She is wearing a black hoodie and a pair of brown pants. Between them is the cheery firepit named Sparky. He has a smile on his face and holds a cup of coffee. Written in black Sharpie across the bottom of the picture, "She was a sweetheart!<3".
