Temperature keeps dropping. Light the last ember, keep the fire alive and rebuild a snowed-in village, one building at a time. Play with one thumb: chop wood, fish through the ice, cut stone, sell at the market and hire villagers who work for you. A cozy idle-arcade tycoon with a voiced story and a Great Blizzard finale. Nobody dies, but villagers may leave. No ads, no energy timers, 21 languages. Free to start; the Full Story is a one-time purchase.
Hey Product Hunt,
EmberFrost starts with almost nothing: a dead fire, a snowed-in village and one last ember. Light it, and the cold starts pushing back.
The temperature never stops dropping, so the fire always comes first. You chop wood in the forest, carry it back on your shoulders and feed the flames. Whatever you don't burn, you sell at the market. With the coins you rebuild the village piece by piece: cabins, a pier on the frozen lake, a quarry, a forge.
The village fills up as you go. Granny Maud opens her infirmary, Bram fires up the forge, and new families arrive. Some of them start working for you: a woodcutter, a fisher, a stonecutter. Then the storms come. Keep the fire high and everyone stays warm. Let it fade and people get sick, and some may pack up and leave. Nobody dies, but losing a neighbour still hurts.
It all builds up to the Great Blizzard, the night that decides whether the village makes it.
You play with one thumb, in short sessions or long ones. No ads, no energy bars. The beginning is free, and the rest of the story is a single purchase.
