Embersteel

Reforge the Future, Unravel the Past​

Embersteel

Join the ranks of Cassius Flint and his fellow Relic Hunters in Embersteel, an epic 2D story-based roguelike action survival game. In Embersteel, you will embark on a journey through intricate post-apocalyptic lands filled with mechanical monstrosities, mysterious relics, and choices that will shape humanity's destiny moments before the promised singularity.

Chase the Mind, Be the Truth, Eat the Shadows​

A Tale of Mind & Machine​

Venture into a world that is as surreal as it is daring, trapped in a perpetual time loop of its making. Embersteel offers a blend of strategy, exploration, and narrative richness delivered in a story-based quasi-reverse bullet hell survival game.

World Theme​

Post-apocalyptic, pre-singularity surreal steampunk/rustpunk/cogpunk machine landscapes swarming with Cogs, adorned with vast cities, outposts, and secrets waiting to be uncovered.

Protagonist​

Guide Cassius Flint, a relentless Relic Hunter, and uncover his concealed link to the world's ruin.

Adversaries​

Face formidable mechanical foes, known as Cogs, driven by the enigmatic Great Machine and its Machine Cult followers.

Choices & Consequences​

Your decisions ripple through the game, altering paths and outcomes. Items, armor, weapons, and gear populated in each of your level time loops reflect your previous run. Compounding decisions may unlock secret builds, rare items, or new areas that you didn't know were on the map before.

The Time Loop & The Great Machine​

Dive into the complexity of The Great Machine and a time loop that traps humanity in a never-ending cycle. Will you break free or embrace the loop? A grand conspiracy is at play, and only you can uncover its deepest, darkest secrets. Who is Vorik & Stroud? What happened before the Singularity? Who damaged the Engines of Creation? What does the Great Machine want? Become Cassius and discover truths scattered across Embersteel.
