Friendly Fire

Friendly Fire is a visual novel featuring interactive shooting challenges that aim to teach players the core mechanics of modern first-person shooters.

After their live-service game is unexpectedly shut down, a cast of colorful characters finds themselves stranded in a strange new world hosted by a mysterious cat named COLT. Now, this game is close to being shut down as well, and its only hope is for at least one new player to complete the game before it disappears forever.

As you interact with the game's quirky characters, you'll navigate their stories and learn how they are dealing with being trapped in a game that was never meant to be their home. Between story segments, you'll complete shooting challenges that teach the fundamentals of modern competitive shooters, including unique abilities, cooldowns, and a variety of weapons. Each level also features objectives that can be completed to earn a high score and collect coins to spend at the gacha machine.

With every challenge you complete, you'll uncover more about the game, its characters, and how these wacky heroes ended up in this strange new world.

Will you save this game from being shut down or will the game be lost forever?
