—Gather and craft by day as young and resourceful Ember, and battle hordes of spooky enemies by night as a fiery Werefox. Conquer your fears by vanquishing their nightmare forms in this action roguelite experience with quick, menu-free crafting and vast combinations of powerful upgrades.
The woods in Ember's dreams are full of mysteries and resources she can use to survive. Find materials to prepare light sources for nightfall. Pick, pull, gather and catch heaps of different fox foods to empower Ember's werefox form! Ember's menu-free crafting experience enables you to quickly stack components together as you dash around the woods, using the fleeting daylight hours to quickly explore, scavenge and craft.

As darkness envelops the woods, Ember will take on her combat-proficient form, enchanted with fiery abilities and magical powers. As she eats meals, combine various skills to stack up a strategic fighting chance against the ever-increasing bombardment of spooky enemies. Take back the forest from the manifested fragments of fear to slowly and permanently populate the forest with new food sources, enabling Ember to become yet even stronger!

As Ember is defeated in her dreams, she awakens to her cozy bedroom. Her talking plush fox waits for her there, to absorb the heavy "dreamite" Ember collects while asleep. Converted into "courage", this redeemed resource is used to purchase new abilities and permanent upgrades! By accomplishing specific achievements in her dreams, Ember will also unlock dozens of new outfits, which will enchant her and the dream forest in many different ways! Finally, before heading back to bed, Ember can catch up on her dream journal illustrations; doodles which keep track of new discoveries, progress and give rewards!

While the plush upgrades, outfits, and story-based tasks completed in dreams are permanent, there are several ways each dream will give Ember a fresh start:
