Ember's Verge

We need more survival games that are actual survival games and not just crafting, combat, adventure games with a hunger bar.

A wildly unique, charming, and gritty survival that keeps kick my butt but i still keep coming back to get better. Embers Verge is a superb solo dev survival project with tons of character and unique systems and mechanics that step outside the box of traditional crafting systems. A lot of it really comes down to how you would logically craft something or acquire some resource. Its got a bit of a learning curve and its fair share of quirks and hard lessons to learn, but also provided a well informed codex and game settings to fine tune your experience. There is a full game here and the dev is still creating more amazing content on top of it all. There's multiple ways to escape and doing so will require a slow burn, long play run to do so. The dev is outstanding as far as communication, bug reports, and engagement. Top notch and more people need to know about this absolute survival crafting gem!

Ok, not gonna lie it gets kinda tough. But if you like survival games without having to fight zombies then this is your game. You are on an island with all the things you need to survive just waiting for you to collect and put together. Spend your time collecting fire wood, cooking food, or running around setting traps. Can you make it thru your first winter without starving to death? Only one way to find out.

A different kind of survival game. I always play new games on easy to understand the core of the game. I'm glad because otherwise I would have died many times. Interesting ways to create various items. A good tip: make sure to fill up your supply before winter sets in. One thing I really like is that you can decide for yourself how long you want to sleep. This is not a racing game, so take the time it takes and immerse yourself. Try it I don't think you will regret it.

I'm excited to see where this game goes. Very solid foundation for a game. Survival without all the BS.

Very underrated game! I enjoy playing it a lot, the more time you spend in the game, the more stuff you find out what you can do, can't wait to jump back in it and continue playing some more!
