Ember Hollow

You are the last small fire in a dark forest. Last until morning.

Walk, and your fire does the rest. Hundreds of things with glowing eyes close in through the dark while your weapons burn them back. Every level lets you choose what to grow: circling flames, forked lightning, falling coals, burning footprints. Pair the right upgrades and a chest will turn a weapon into something far stronger. Spend the gold you bring back on permanent upgrades, unlock new spirits and new places, and see if you can reach dawn.

How to play

  • Drag anywhere on the screen to walk, or use WASD or the arrow keys. Your weapons fire on their own.
  • Walk over the sparks that fall to gain experience, then choose one of the upgrades on offer.
  • Each card shows which upgrade it pairs with. Fully grow a weapon, hold its partner, and open a chest to evolve it.
  • Bosses arrive at 2, 4, 6 and 9 minutes and drop chests. Red circles and lines show where they are about to strike.
  • Spend your gold at the Hearth between runs. Reach dawn to open the next map.
