Lost Ember

About

Take control of all sorts of creatures to piece together a crumbling world's secrets. Shift from a burrowing mole to a soaring bird as you navigate jungles, deserts, and ancient ruins. Each new body brings distinct movement and puzzle-solving abilities. You might wiggle through tight tunnels as a snake or glide across canyons as a hawk. The world reacts to your choices with simple but clever environmental interactions. The game's charm comes from its quiet curiosity. You'll never fight enemies or rush through levels. Instead you'll observe ecosystems and ancient relics at your own pace. Metacritic users highlight the "soothing yet mysterious tone" and "creative locomotion variety." Steam reviews average 4.5/5 with praise for the "dreamlike exploration." Available on PS4 PC Xbox One and Switch since 2019 it remains a subtle standout for its inventive take on adventure gameplay.

Storyline

Explore the land, sea, and air, as you possess any creature you come across to experience life from a whole new perspective. Fly through gargantuan canyon valleys as a parrot! Tumble through the grass as a wombat! Swim through shimmering lakes as a fish! Your journey will take you from densely wooded jungles, to lush rainforest canopies, to barren desert plains and archaic temples.
