In an unusually free move, for an app like this at least, you don’t just have to deal with whatever the app sends you. Another class called Ascender (pictured above) has a grappling hook so you can quickly climb to the roof or other hard to reach places. You also get what is essentially an AR phone app that tells you where your customers are inside of the building. Our Hero Class firefighter, for example, comes with a water gun, axe, an extendable ladder, and one of those life safety nets that looks like a trampoline. The game has multiple loadouts, each with its own specializations. But that nightmare of a world is just a backdrop for a silly, amusing experience that’s best played with a friend.īefore you even start fighting fires, there are some things to consider. The world in Embr is actually capitalism hell.

So don’t push yourself too hard! But also don’t just settle for 70 percent! You want to keep your reviews up!

If you end up injured or killed, Embr has the right to blame you for everything that’s happened and you become liable for not only your own medical bills, but the bills of everyone involved. Take too long, however, and the building will likely become engulfed and collapsed, killing everyone inside. According to the app’s terms of service, their only obligation is to save 70 percent of people in the building to consider the order fulfilled and get paid.īut that’s no way to get a good five-star rating so you’ll find yourself pressured by your corporate overlords to get every single person out of the burning building. Except they’re not there to put out the fire or save your valuables. Firefighting is being outsourced to ride share-like apps which dispatch friendly freelance firefighters to help save you and your loved ones. In the world of Embr, capitalism has truly won the day.
