Emberlight

Emberlight is a roguelite dungeon crawler in which you play as a Knight of the Ember Order, exploring procedurally generated dungeons and completing quests with your party. In a world where the Gods are fighting for control of their creations, you uncover the land’s lore and decide how to use Ember power to protect your people from its dangers.

Absorb abilities

Enemies’ abilities each have a chance to be learned when you absorb them, letting you customize each character toward your goals. You can also collect powerful traits from dungeon bosses. Every absorbed ability comes at a cost: using unstable Ember power corrupts your soul as the quest progresses.

Corruption and its cost

Corruption brings unstable traits and can transform you into an evil being, such as a lich. The more power you gain, the further you risk losing yourself to evil; each ability has a cost, and every gift of power requires a sacrifice.

Runs and future bosses

Each run lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. After a quest, the most corrupted party member kills their former allies. That character then attracts evil as their influence grows, eventually becoming a boss in a future quest. The boss retains all the powers you gave them during the run, and defeating each corrupted boss requires a stronger party. The cycle continues with further quests and challenges.
