FiresOut! Steam Demo Brings Malaysian Co-Op Chaos To Players On June 4
FiresOut! is preparing to open its doors to players, with Malaysian indie studio Dreamonaut launching a free Steam demo on June 4.
The co-op firefighting game places players in the role of animal interns working for the Super Hazard Intervention Taskforce, which should immediately set expectations for the kind of workplace disaster being served up. Instead of standard firefighting gear, players are handed Mr Glug Glug, a toilet goldfish that somehow functions as a water-blasting extinguisher.
It is strange, silly, and clearly built for group play. FiresOut! is less about professional firefighting fantasy and more about turning simple rescue objectives into noisy teamwork breakdowns between friends, couples, families, and anyone willing to risk emotional damage over a two-star clear.
The June 4 Demo Includes 6 Playable Levels
The upcoming demo will include 6 levels in total, starting with a tutorial before opening into 5 full levels from the game’s first world. It will also include the game’s original soundtrack and sound effects, giving players a proper first taste of its tone, pacing, and chaos.
FiresOut! supports 1 to 4 players, with both local couch co-op and online multiplayer included. That flexibility is important for a game built around frantic communication, accidental obstruction, and the shared panic of realising nobody remembered to save the victim currently standing near exploding fireballs.
Players can choose from 4 playable characters, carry civilians to safety, or simply yeet them out of danger. The demo also throws in meteorites, falling hazards, tight spaces, and fire situations that no intern should reasonably be expected to survive.
Why FiresOut! Could Catch The Co-Op Crowd
FiresOut! fits neatly into the growing appetite for chaotic co-op games where the fun comes from coordination slowly collapsing under pressure. The game’s top-down perspective makes the action readable, while its cramped level design appears built to force players into each other’s way.
There will be support for single-player, online co-op, shared or split-screen co-op, Steam Cloud, Remote Play Together, and Family Sharing. Combined with the demo’s timing around Clemmy’s Best Indie Game Showcase, FiresOut! has a useful opportunity to reach players already looking for smaller, personality-driven games.
A Malaysian Debut With Growing Regional Momentum
FiresOut! is the debut title from Dreamonaut Studio PLT, a 7-person Malaysian indie studio founded in 2025 by Asia Pacific University game development graduates.
The studio has already picked up the Best Student Game Award, received an Audience Choice nomination at the SEA Level Up KL Game Award, joined MDEC’s Incubation Program, and earned a GDC Developer Scholarship.
The full game does not yet have a release date, with Steam still listing its launch timing as to be announced. For now, the June 4 demo will be the key test. If the firefighting chaos feels as good in players’ hands as it looks on paper, FiresOut! could become one of Southeast Asia’s more memorable indie co-op surprises.
