　　Web version may lag temporarily while loading the game world The "Mira: Prairie River Pyre" prototype was created over the period of 300+ hours during the 2024 Pirate Software Game Jam. The theme of the jam was "It's Spreading." The spreading of ashes is as fundamental to the story, as the spreading of fire is fundamental to the experience of the game. The game has been designed to make the player feel as if they are trapped with flames around them on all sides, and their only option is to keep surviving, keep fighting, and try to make it out in the end. This symbolizes Baba’s fight against Cancer. Baba needs young Mira’s help to find peace and spread her love and consciousness back into the Universe.
