The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A frantic race against the clock through collapsing catacombs, demanding quick reflexes and constant movement.

About

Emberfall is the first roguevania-survivor: a roguelite, metroidvania, and survivor-inspired action-platformer. You must extract from the deadly catacombs of the fallen citadel "Lemia" in less than 10 minutes. Emberfall puts you in control of Kali, who defeated the God of Greed and the Goddess of Light. Now, the gods have failed, and the citadel will collapse. Tough and fast, with snappy controls and endless challenges. Enjoy an idling-combat system and focus on finding your way out while dodging enemies. The game offers a simple but enjoyable roguelite system. Purchase upgrades across your runs to become more powerful from the start.
