EMBERWOOD

You wake on the moss of a silent wildwood with empty hands and a growling stomach. No map, no supplies, no idea how you got here — only the sun climbing overhead and a strange unease in the treeline.

Gather by day. Chop pines and oaks for wood, strip sweet berries from the bushes, learn the forest paths before the light turns amber and slips away. Spend your wood wisely: a campfire's ring of light is the only thing the night stalkers fear.

Survive the night. When dusk falls, the pale Stalkers rise from between the trees — hungry, patient, and afraid of only one thing: firelight. Huddle close, fight back with your axe arm, and hold out until dawn. Eat well and a new morning heals you; starve, and the forest finishes you quietly.

Survive three full nights and the wildwood lets you go. A hand-crafted pixel survival loop with a full day/night cycle, dynamic lighting, procedural forest runs, and a folk soundtrack that darkens with the sky — every run, you wake in a newly-grown EMBERWOOD.
