emberhollow

**Your light is a countdown. It is also your weapon.**

You carry the last flame in the Emberhollow. It shows you maybe twenty feet of cave — and it is going out.

- **The dark pays.** Every kill and every glow vein is worth more the further you are from a lit bonfire — up to 3.2×. The bonus climbs in the corner while you walk.

- **Spend your own light.** The Flame Burst costs 15 light and blows everything around you back, blinded. Using it makes you weaker. Not using it can cost more.

- **Readable combat.** Enemies telegraph every strike with a red wedge. Roll through at the last moment for stamina back and double damage.

- **Six zones, twelve upgrades** — but a bonfire only ever offers three, so no two runs build alike.

- **Real cast shadows** off every rock edge, and a soundtrack generated live in your browser.
