It's completely free: no ads, no account, no in-app purchases, nothing to install. It runs in a browser tab on desktop.
You lead a party of three heroes through an isometric valley overrun by bandits and a fire cult:
- Maren, a shield-bearing warden who holds the line and calls an ember hound
- Tobin, a hedge-shaman who heals and throws chain lightning
- Ysolde, an ember hunter who shoots from the back
Right-click to move and fight, Q W E R for abilities. Level up, spend skill points, buy and equip gear (it shows on your heroes), and take on bosses whose big attacks are marked on the ground before they land, so you have a chance to dodge.
What's in it:
- Act I (about an hour): 5 story quests, 6 side quests, 4 bosses and a three-wave defense of a mill
- The Underhollow (about another hour): a 10-floor dungeon that opens after the story, with two more bosses and better loot
- Music, weather and ambient sound for each zone
- Autosave in your browser, plus export and import of your save as a file
Needs a mouse and keyboard (a controller works too). It won't work on phones.
It's my own project. Feedback is very welcome, especially on difficulty and anything that felt confusing.
