About this game

The world has frozen. Around the last generator, a handful of survivors build
the city that must outlive the cold — and you make every decision that keeps
it alive, or buries it.

Emberhold is a survival city-builder made for the phone in your hand: one
thumb, portrait mode, sessions that respect your time. No ads, no in-app
purchases, no internet required. Just you and the frost.

BUILD THE LAST CITY
• Raise homes, mines, kitchens and workshops in rings around the generator
• Heat is life: every building freezes or thrives by its distance to the core
• Push the generator into overdrive when the night gets deadly — and pay for it

LEAD LIVING PEOPLE
• Workers, engineers and children with hunger, illness and frostbite
• Named families remember what you did to them
• Loyalty and radicalization: push factions too far and face protests

MAKE HARD LAWS
• Two paths — Order or Faith — and the first law locks your road forever
• Emergency shifts, child labor, moonshine, public funerals: every law costs
something that is not money

SURVIVE THE STORY
• Six scenarios: hold 45 days to the Great Storm, shelter refugee waves,
keep greenhouses alive, survive the last coal seam, hold a splitting city
• Endless mode with ever-deepening cold waves and a lasting record
• Dozens of events where both answers hurt — and the city watches your choice

PLAN THE ESCAPE FROM COLD
• Research heating, medicine, automatons and scouting
• Send scouts into the white silence for survivors and supplies
• Read the Engineers' Archive — the in-game book of survival rules

Every game is fully deterministic: same choices, same outcome. No luck.
Only consequences.

The frost does not negotiate.
Survival city-builder in an endless winter. Keep the last generator burning.
