The world

Three places you will spend your hours

Procedurally generated and split into 8 biomes; the layout changes every time you start a new game.

  • Emberville screenshot: a cobbled cave floor at the edge of the darkness

    The Vitromotus

    The main dungeon: weird enemies, traps and bosses.

  • Emberville screenshot: fog drifting between old houses at night

    Emberville (the town)

    The main hub. The more you rebuild, the more systems unlock and the more of the town’s story you hear.

  • Emberville screenshot: a farmhouse beside a fenced crop field on a sunny day

    The Creative Area (your Estate)

    Your own space to build a home, grow crops, decorate and craft; all life-skill tools live here.

About the game

About Emberville

You wake with no memory inside the Vitromotus, an underground prison where death does not last. Fight your way through it, rescue the people of Emberville, and rebuild their ruined town with their help.

Combat is an action RPG with weapon combos and classes that share skills; around it sit gathering, crafting, farming and your own Estate. Cygnus Cross develops and publishes it, with CohhCarnage as Executive Producer.
