For players looking to experience a cozy exploration game, here is something they might find interesting.
Publisher Daedalic Entertainment teamed up with indie studio Tiny Roar for the release of Into the Emberlands. The upcoming singleplayer game will launch via Early Access on Steam this summer.
Into the Emberlands will be among many of Daedalic Entertainment's top PC single-player games like Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun and the Deponia series.
Described as a charming exploration game with roguelite features, Into the Emberlands takes players to the titular world of the Emberlands. Once upon a time, the Emberlands served as a peaceful haven for the Knacks. But a mysterious fog, called the Miasma, suddenly arrived, enveloping the Emberlands. As a result, the Knacks mysteriously disappeared.
The game's main storyline involves one quest. That is, to find and rescue the missing Knacks. Players then step into the role of a Lightbearer. Wielding a lantern fueled by radiant Ember, they must take on an adventure to save the lost Knacks.
Tiny Roar, the German studio developing the game, said Into the Emberlands offers a 'captivating blend of exploration and rescue missions.'
The game features procedurally-generated biomes, each with its own set of challenges and secrets to uncover. Its main gameplay also contains a blend of exploration and roguelite mechanics.
In addition, Into the Emberlands has city-building elements. As players rescue the lost Knacks, they can help them rebuild their village.
They can help the Knacks rebuild their homes and shops, ultimately transforming it into a thriving community. Each addition to the village not only unlocks new possibilities. But also brings players closer to unraveling the mysteries of the Miasma.
Tiny Roar is an indie game developer based in Hamburg, Germany. They have also released a trailer for Into the Emberlands, providing interested players a more detailed look into the Emberlands. Check the video by clicking the play button below.
