Virtual Fireplace

A fire in an old room, burning on a loop. Turn the sound on, make the tab full screen, and forget about it for an hour.

Sitting here: 0:00

How to play

  1. The fire starts on its own, without sound.
  2. Press the sound button to hear it crackle.
  3. Press full screen if you want the whole thing.

How it works

This is a short piece of video looped seamlessly, not an animation, so it costs your device almost nothing to run. The sound is part of the video and stays off until you ask for it, because browsers do not allow noise without permission.

Why this exists

Real fireplaces require wood, a chimney, and a level of commitment most people do not have.
