Until the Rain

Wildfire strategy on PC

Until the Rain is a strategy game about fighting wildfires across miniature dioramas of national parks and wild landscapes. Fires spread in ticks: each one can grow or jump, while your vehicles fight fires they can reach and money comes in. You can act between ticks and pause at any time, so the challenge is choosing where to send limited crews rather than clicking quickly.

The park’s terrain shapes those choices. Pine forests catch quickly, meadows take longer, and rocks and water stop flames. Fire climbs uphill twice as fast, while a full blaze can throw embers ahead of the fireline. You can see where those embers will land one tick in advance, and briefings warn you before the wind changes.
