About This Game

EVERY CARD YOU BURN MAKES EVERYONE STRONGER

Ember Covenant is a dark-fantasy roguelike deckbuilder built around fire, sacrifice, and escalating risk. Cross a four-act branching pilgrimage, shape a deck around your chosen Keeper, and break the four Seals before the Furnace consumes the road.

BURN FOR POWER

Cards are more than actions. Burn a card to remove it from the current fight, gain Ember, and raise the Heat. Ember fuels powerful plays, but rising Heat strengthens both you and your enemies. Every sacrifice changes the battle.

BUILD A COVENANT

Choose your Keeper and forge a distinct strategy from 115 authored cards. Combine five Sigils, complete Litanies, evolve defining powers, and discover Cinder cards capable of reshaping an entire run.

WALK THE CINDER ROAD

Navigate a branching journey through four acts filled with battles, elites, events, shrines, relics, and bosses. Reclaim four Seals, settle your Debts, and decide which cards deserve to survive the pilgrimage.
