The flame of forbidden love is a 2D platformer game in which you as the player have no physical presence in the game world, but control the power of fire in this dim and dying world. From when you start the game an unknown voice tells you that you must keep these two beings apart or the world will surly fall into darkness. The game is a physiological test to see how long the player will listen to this unknown voice or if the player will let the power of love prevail. The two beings will be presented in each scenario (slowly moving toward each other) and the solving of an easy puzzle (hidden as or within the games environment) will keep them apart. Every puzzle solved will progress the story and present the player with a new scenario. The player "wins" when they finally realize what they are doing and stop listening to the voice. The player "loses" once the voice finally gets its way and the world fall into complete darkness.
