Devil May Cry combat, but you are Smokey fighting fire demons with your shovel. Will give new meaning to the Smokin! ranking.
You know. Maybe not a whole game, but something like this as a segment in like Hellblade could be a thing.The player is a person on fire, both you and your flames can't be put out. You are in a large realistic simulated forest with animals, villages and people.
You will eventually cause a fire, even if you don't want to because you're on fire. The music is a bunch of frail voiced chanting "Fire" over and over and you hear the crackling and the screams of the people and animals burning to death in the forest.
The game ends when the forest had burned down completely and you alone stand in a black smoldering field. The player character still on fire turns towars the camera and starts to scream im agony while the camera slowly zooms into the blackness of its mouth. The text appears: "Yours can never die. Game Over"
