The Lost City of Embr

A little flame in a world gone cold.

$4.99 · Adventure, Platformer · plays instantly in your browser · free demo available

You are embr — a small flame in a vast, frozen world. Run, leap, and dash through the marshes and forests beyond the Cold Road in search of the Lost City, keeping your light alive against everything the dark throws at you.

Every zone is hand-drawn and hand-tuned: the Cindermarsh, the Charcoal Forest, the drowned Marsh Chapel, the Moth Nest, and the warmth of Hearthhome between them. The world rewards explorers — hidden charms change how your flame moves, and the dark hides more than it shows.

Hand-drawn pixel art. An original soundtrack that follows your flame. A world built by a father and son who had never written a line of code.

Highlights

• Hand-drawn pixel art across five hand-built zones
• An original soundtrack that follows your flame
• Fluid run, leap, dash, and wall-slide movement
• Hidden charms that change how you play
