Ember Seeker

10/10 ost 8.8/10 game atmostsphere 8/10 exploration This was just the type of game I was looking for.

I don't leave a lot of reviews because I don't ever feel eloquent or articulate enough to type something out worth reading. I wanted to thank the devs for a fun game, though. I'll try to word things spoiler-free for people interested in playing. This game is very chill and enjoyable. At time of writing there's no combat, no stress, just an adventure exploration game. It scratched an itch I didn't know I had. My first full playthrough took about ~9 hours, and that was with a lot of backtracking, combing around for items, as well as some irl breaks where I didn't turn the game off. Second playthrough to get the last story achievement was ~20 minutes. EDIT: I also wanted to mention how good the music fits the atmosphere of the game. Very good music, good lore and worldbuilding done through a mostly optional medium. Made me enjoy hunting down items and getting lore on the area and state of the world. This part isn't really gripes or complaints, just confusion. There were a few in-game events I triggered that I'm not sure what they did? As well as some items that are useless. If they're just there for flair or flavor, I appreciate them, it just makes me think there may be something I missed, but I have all story achievements. My only complaint about the game is the inventory. It resets to default sorting every time you die/reload. It also unequips everything you had on. Not a big gripe, but re-equipping items constantly when I'm jumping or sliding off ledges looking for secrets was a touch aggravating. My hope for the game in the future is there will be some post-game content added. The world feels full enough as-is but there are also areas that seem like something should happen. Areas already set up that could lead to new areas to explore, and I very much would like more to explore. It's also a bit of a bummer that the NPCs don't really acknowledge the post-game state. Doesn't change much, but it'd be a nice touch. Overall, very much worth the price. I enjoyed every minute I had with this game and will keep an eye on updates and come back when there's more to do. Thanks, devs!
