Master Fire, Fear Darkness

Sprint through a forest where visibility is everything. Place campfires to push back the shadows and reveal what lurks within. But light is temporary, and what finds you in the dark won't hesitate to kill.

One Hit, One Death

There are no health bars here. Everything kills instantly. Your only protection is a magical shield that can save you once, then you're vulnerable until it recharges. Every encounter is life or death.

Rise From the Ashes

Collect ember fragments from fallen enemies. These pieces of power persist through death. Between runs, spend these fragments on permanent upgrades that fundamentally change how you play. Transform from prey to predator through careful choices.

Break the Curse

Journey deeper into your nightmare, breaking the seals that bind you here. Discover hidden memories that reveal the truth of what happened. Each run brings new revelations and harder challenges.

Key Features

• Roguelite Progression: Every run contributes to permanent growth

• Fast, Focused Sessions: Perfect for "just one more run"

• Skill-Based Combat: Master positioning and timing when death is instant

• Build Variety: Multiple upgrade paths create different play styles each time

• Narrative Mystery: Piece together the truth across multiple attempts

The Truth Awaits

Break the seals binding you to this nightmare. Uncover what you've done and decide if power is worth the price you've already paid.

Some sins echo forever.
