Burning Beginning (Latest Build)

"What Happened When I Was Powered Down...?"

Finally powering on, you play as GLO, or General Laboratory Operator! Click through text and play through minigames as you uncover the truth of what happened at the museum you work at!

The year is unknown. You play as GLO, who finally powers on, ready to perform maintenance on the museum! But the building is in disrepair- the ceiling has holes in it, rubble litters the floor, and plants bloom between cracks in the wall. Just what occurred when you were powered down? Play through and find out!

FiniteSun presents Burning Beginning, an isometric-puzzle game! GLO can interact with various objects to provide the player with a small description! Certain objects will open a small pop-up in which the player will have to solve a small puzzle to proceed! 

A Haunting Narrative of AI and the Environment

Burning Beginnings provides a rich narrative that allows the player to grapple with ideas of AI and its impacts on the environment as they play through GLO, a robot who was built with the intention to serve humanity.

Puzzle Solving and Exploration

Explore five unique environments that each provide a small piece to solve the larger puzzle of what’s going on in the world!

A Desolate World Wrapped in a Comfort Blanket

Experience this desolate world alongside GLO with calming music and gorgeous environments.
