Wash ashore with three strangers and a single spark

Ember Shores is a cozy survival village builder on an uncharted island. Day by day, your little band gathers wood, stone, food and iron — and every night, the dark things come out of the forest looking for your fire.

Put everyone to work

Click a villager and give them a calling: foragers pick the berry thickets, woodcutters fell pines once you raise a Lumber Mill, miners crack boulders at the Quarry, fishers and farmers keep the stew pot full, and builders hammer your plans into being. New friends wash ashore on their own — build Houses so there's room for them.

The fire is everything

The bonfire is the heart of the village: it stores your goods, warms your sleepers, and holds back the dark. It burns through its fuel every night — feed it wood before the light dies. Raise Guard Towers and assign Guards, or wall your camp in stone, because wolves hunt the fire, spiders hunt your people, and goblins just want to watch it all burn.

Survive as many days as you can. Every dawn is a small victory — and every record is saved.
