Who we are

A studio built around fire

Ember Games Studio is an independent game studio. We make atmospheric, hand-crafted games for PC and mobile — the kind of worlds that start as a single spark and grow into something that burns.

We believe games are at their best when they have a point of view: a distinct look, a feeling you can't shake, and craft in every corner. That's the standard we hold every project to.

Worlds to forge

Hand-built worlds

Every level, sprite, and sound is crafted with intent. No filler, no factory output — just worlds that feel made by people who care.

2

Atmosphere first

We chase mood and feeling. A game should pull you somewhere and refuse to let go long after you close it.

3

Small team, big fire

Independent and self-funded. Being small lets us take risks, move fast, and answer to nobody but the players.

The two of us

The people behind it

Ember Games is just the two of us — kept small on purpose, so every world stays personal.

Gives every world its face — assets, illustration, key art, and the hand-built look that makes an Ember game feel made by people who care. Also the voice inside the games: she writes most of the words you read while you play.

Journey Through Hell

The same fire that lit these games also produced a book — a free, first-hand account of living with cluster headaches. The studio and the book come from one source.

Fair warning: it goes somewhere darker and more personal than anything else here.
