Emberfall: an idle game built for the five-minute check-in

Emberfall is an offline idle RPG about mining, forging and pushing a run further than last time. The whole design target fits in one sentence: open it for five minutes on a break and have something meaningful to do.

What we optimise for

• Offline progress that matters. Coming back should unlock a decision, not just a bigger number.
• A readable loop. Mine, forge, upgrade, descend. If a new player cannot explain the loop after two sessions, it is too complicated.
• Depth without chores. Idle games rot when the best play is a spreadsheet. We want the upgrade choice to be the interesting part.

If you play, the most useful feedback is: when did it start to feel like a grind, and which upgrade did you buy first because it looked obvious?
