Emberwake

Emberwake is a 2D survival strategy game about protecting the last ember of hope in a world plunged into darkness. You lead villagers, gather resources, build defenses and fight waves of undead to keep your campfire burning. The fire provides warmth and light, and gives the village the will to survive.

Prepare by day

During the day, you assign villagers to gather wood, stone and food by chopping, mining, hunting and foraging. You use these resources to build structures and upgrade existing ones, including the campfire and defensive buildings. Over-harvesting can leave resources scarce, while upgrades unlock further opportunities for growth and defense.

Defend the campfire

At night, undead drawn to the campfire emerge from the shadows. You arm villagers with weapons purchased from the Mystic Merchant and position them to repel waves of skeletons, shadow creatures and other dark forces. Towers, barricades and other fortifications help hold back the horde.

Adapt each night

The day-night cycle brings new threats as darkness deepens. Nights grow longer and enemies grow stronger, so you must adjust your tactics while balancing resource gathering, village defense and combat. You can focus on strengthening your defenses or take a more aggressive fight to the undead; a mistake can end the village’s survival.
