Emberhold: Winter Survival

Snow survival meets city building: a winter survival game in a frozen city, where a handful of survivors gather around the last generator. Build the colony that must outlive the cold. Every decision keeps it alive, or buries it in the snow.

Emberhold is a snow survival city builder made for the phone in your hand: one thumb, portrait mode, short sessions that respect your time. Plays offline. No in-app purchases. Ads appear only between sessions, never during play.

BUILD THE LAST CITY
• Base building in rings around the generator: homes, coal mines, kitchens and workshops
• Heat is life: a cold home gets sick, a cold workshop works slower
• Coal seams lie in sectors far from the fire — where you dig is a decision about heat
• Overdrive the generator when the night turns deadly — and pay for it later

LEAD LIVING PEOPLE
• Workers, engineers and children with hunger, illness and frostbite
• Named families remember what you did to them
• Loyalty and radicalization: push the factions too far and the city protests

MAKE HARD LAWS
• Two paths — Order or Faith — and the first law locks your road forever
• Emergency shifts, child labor, moonshine, public funerals: every law costs something that is not money

SURVIVE THE STORY
• Six scenarios: hold 45 days to the Great Storm, shelter refugee waves, keep the greenhouses alive, survive the last coal seam, hold a city that is splitting apart
• Endless winter mode with ever-deeper cold waves and a lasting record
• Dozens of events where both answers hurt — and the colony watches your choice

FIND THE WAY OUT OF THE COLD
• Research heating, medicine, automatons and scouting
• Send scouts into the white silence for survivors and supplies
• Read the Engineers' Archive — the in-game book of survival rules

A colony survival strategy without luck: every game is fully deterministic. Same choices, same outcome. Only consequences.
