Lost Ember
Experience two contrasting stories as a wolf and over a dozen other animals as you have the special ability to shapeshift into any animal you meet in the lush, post-apocalyptic world of Lost Ember. Together with your companion you go on a journey to find out what happened to mankind a long time ago before nature reclaimed the world.
What happened to the Yanrana and what role did you and your companion play in the downfall of civilization? Roam Lost Ember’s beautiful world on a quest to reclaim your memories of a past life to make sense of this one.
Your main character will be the wolf. Majestic, fast and agile, you’re perfectly fitted to run through the woods, explore the world and chase all the other animals you encounter.
When the wolf encounters other creatures, you can inhabit them, and act as them, using their unique abilities to go to places the wolf never could. Take flight over the canopy as a parrot, dive into the depths of the sea as a fish, or dig underground as a mole, there are many ways to discover your environment.
Only by inhabiting these creatures can you uncover the secrets behind the fall of the old world! A once a mighty civilization now lies in ruins, its majestic temples and glorious civic buildings enshrined by nature itself.
Reveal their fate and get to know the characters behind its fall.
Lost Ember Review
On a more serious note, this is an impressive debut game from a small team of developers. Featuring gorgeous imagery, lots of cute animals, a lovely soundtrack and an emotional story. I was a backer in the Kickstarter campaign, spent years waiting for the game and the final result did not disappoint.
You play – mostly – as a wolf who is called upon by a mysterious spirit. Your task is to find out what happened in your past. As the game is fairly short, to say any more than that would be getting into spoilers.
Suffice to say that along the way you will need to “possess” many different kinds of animals to navigate the obstacles in your path. Dig into underground tunnels as a mole, soar into the skies as a hummingbird or parrot, swim upstream as a fish, climb mountains as a goat and much more. While I was aware of many animals that were going to be featured in the game (many of them stretch goals during the campaign), the amount of variety in the final game still managed to impress.
As of writing this, the game has only been out for a couple of days and there are still quite a few bugs to be ironed out. Fell through the map a few times and occasionally got stuck in the landscape, forcing me to restart from a checkpoint. Thankfully, checkpoints are ample and usually only a minute or two of progress was lost.
Highly recommended if you love relaxing games and/or cute, cuddly animals.
