How it plays

One rule you can feel.

  1. 01 · Read

    Read the weave.

    Strands cross over and under one another. Follow each crossing to see which strand lies on top.

  2. 02 · Pull

    Pull what lies on top.

    Only a strand with nothing across it can leave the board. Tap it or pull it free. A strand that is held down snags, and you can see why.

  3. 03 · Free

    Free the Golden Thread.

    One living Golden Thread is caught in every weave. Clear its way and it comes loose in a rush of light.

Inside the game

Every loom has a twist.

The rule never changes. The looms do: they burn, they turn, they stand in the tide, and they are strung with far more than rope.

A loom over the fire

Every chapter ends in a Master Knot: three trials in one run. On the fjord, the loom turns slowly above an open fire pit.

Half in the tide

Some looms stand in the sea, half above the water and half below it.

Molten steel below

In the forge, an iron loom turns over a crucible of molten metal.

A loom strung with bright iron chain instead of rope.

Not just rope

Steel cable, iron chain, and finer threads still. Every chapter changes what you pull.

A frosted loom around a hole in the ice.

Two faces

On the ice, a loom can hide a second weave on its other side.

A loom over glowing, lava-cracked stone in a valley of standing stones.

Bound by runes

Some strands are rune-locked, and the lock is part of the puzzle.

And plenty more that we are keeping for the journey.

The journey

Eight worlds. One thread.

Ember follows the Golden Thread from quiet fjord shores into a working forge, across rune-carved stone and still ice, and on into places we are keeping to ourselves for now. Every chapter changes the scenery, the materials, and the way the weave behaves.

A long blue fjord at dawn between snowy peaks, a hall high on the cliffs.

ChapterI

Fjord Shores

Read the weave.

The Golden Thread leads into the fjord, where every weave begins.

  • Rope
  • Twisted Pairs
A cliffside forge glowing in the mist beneath a mountain fortress.

ChapterII

Ironwake Forge

Commit to a direction.

In Ironwake, cord, cable, and chain each move to its own rhythm.

  • Steel cable
  • Iron chain
Standing runestones across a volcanic highland under storm clouds.

ChapterIII

Runestone Vale

Understand a bond.

Rune Bonds lock the loom. Their seals wait on the other face.

  • Rune Bonds
A frozen lake and snowy islands beneath a faint aurora.

ChapterIV

Frostmere

See both sides.

Frostmere hides a second weave beneath the first.

  • Both faces

ChapterV

Stormwake Harbor

Anticipate movement.

Revealed on the journey.

ChapterVI

Worldroot Grove

Plan for what emerges.

Revealed on the journey.

ChapterVII

Twinfall Pass

Balance the tension.

Revealed on the journey.

ChapterVIII

The final weave

Weave it all together.

It waits at the end of the thread. We will not spoil it.

Made to be mastered

Calm to play. Deep to master.

The rule fits in a sentence. The boards keep finding new ways to test it, and the game remembers how well you read them, not how long you played.

Three stars, three kinds of skill.

Free the Golden Thread, solve without a single snag, and meet each level's own mastery goal. Replays add the stars you missed and never take one away.

A Master Knot to close every chapter.

Three trials in one run: eight strands, then sixteen, then twenty-four. Keep the Flawless Chain unbroken to earn the chapter's Master Rune, or return for a stricter Legend run.

Runes that remember.

Golden Runes mark real discoveries and feats. They are collectibles, never currency.

Calm by design.
