Guard the
last fire.
Emberrun isn't an endless feed — it's one short survival story a day, the same for everyone. Read the situation, swipe to choose, and balance what keeps you alive through a single fragile night. Reach dawn, or don't.
Read the night. Choose. Live with it.
Swipe or tap to choose
Swipe left or right, Reigns-style — or tap to choose. Your call, your consequences. Every decision has weight, because you only get today's run.
Balance four resources
Keep Warmth, Food, Health and Hope alive. Let any one hit zero and the night takes you.
The world remembers
Turn someone away and they may never return. Your choices echo into endings you never saw coming.
A few lives, a few checkpoints
Die and you slip back to the last fire to try again — but not forever.
One story a day. Shared by everyone.
No endless feed. No timers bleeding you for coins. Just a few quiet minutes where every decision matters — a shipwreck, a storm-battered lighthouse, a long night in the mountains. Miss today's run, and tomorrow brings a brand new one.
Today's run
A single new story each day, the same for every player.
Fragile lives
Slip back to the last fire and try again — a few times.
Reach the morning
Survive the night and watch the first light break.
