Firework (video game)
2021 video game

Firework (Chinese: 烟火; pinyin: Yānhuǒ) is a horror puzzle game developed by Chinese studio "Moonlight Cockroach" and published by Gamera Game . The trial version was released on July 15, 2020, and was officially released on the Steam platform on February 4, 2021. Players will play the role of criminal policeman Lin Lixun, investigating a funeral arson case in a mountain town, and another family massacre involved in it.
Gameplay
In the game, players will control the detective Lin Lixun from a third-person perspective, and uncover the truth behind the tragedy and the inner stories of each character through exploration in different scenes. During the game, players will encounter a variety of puzzles, and there will also be plot characters joining in to help you get more information. Gradually understand the beginning and end of the story in each scene, and piece together the original appearance of the event with fragments.
Firework features simple controls centered around 2D side-scrolling exploration and click-based interactions. Players move the character with Arrow keys and use an interaction button to examine objects, solve puzzles, or trigger story events. A "spiritual perspective" mechanic allows switching to a supernatural realm to uncover hidden clues. The game eliminates combat and complex mechanics, relying on highlighted prompts and auto-saves to lower barriers, letting players fully immerse in puzzle-solving and narrative.

Why this record matters
The phrase “2021 video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q106196084. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2020 and 2021.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
