Join Our Discord Community About the Game Emberlight is a true roguelite dungeon crawler, set in a world where the Gods have given you a great gift - and a great curse. Explore procedurally generated dungeons as a Knight of the Ember Order. Conquer the quests set out before your party, and uncover the lore of the land. Grow your strength by absorbing the abilities of your slain enemies and collecting the powerful traits of dungeon bosses. Become strong, become quick, become immortal - but be warned - as you fight using unstable Ember powers, they will begin to corrupt and twist your very soul. Every gift of power has its sacrifice; every ability has its cost. As the Gods fight for control of their creations, you must decide what is good, and what is evil. To protect your people against the dangers of Ember power, you must use its power to your advantage. Will you conquer the dark, or will you lose yourself to corruption? ABSORB As a Knight of the Ember Order, you have the ability to absorb the abilities used by your enemies. Every ability used by enemies has a chance to be learned. This allows customization of each character towards whichever goals you have. But each absorbed ability has a cost... CORRUPT Every absorbed ability will corrupt your soul. You will slowly lose yourself to evil as the quest progresses. This expresses itself in unstable corruption traits which leads to metamorphosis into an evil being (such as a lich). And you will lose yourself to the corruption... REPEAT Each run will last between 30-60 minutes. After completing the quest, the most corrupted will kill off his former allies in an epic battle. This corrupted being will then begin attracting evil around them, and will act as a boss in a future quest once their influence has expanded enough. They will have all the powers you have provided them during the run, providing a never ending challenge in future runs. For every corrupted boss, a stronger party is required to defeat them. And the cycle repeats......forever?

Press reviews: “Honestly, I liked it, though not so much at first. Quarter Onion seems to be doing a great job on taking feedback and ironing out issues, and I'm definitely going to keep an eye on that” 7/10 – The Arcadist “If you enjoy rogue-like games, a little fantasy setting, along with crunching some stats while crawling through a dungeon, this game has your number. It offers great replay and plenty of ways to uniquely craft your team for the next run through!” 7/10 – Doctors of Gaming “Quarter Union Games have brought us a fun game, that’s for sure. When I looked up a little more about this studio, I discovered they’re just an indie studio and that Emberlight is their first game. I have to admit, for a first release, this is really something. The special character development is definitely what sets this game apart from others in its genre. Overall, Emberlight offers a fun game experience and sometimes, that’s all we’re looking for in a game.” 7/10 – Life is Xbox
