Emberdelve

Descend into the delve, one roll at a time.

Emberdelve is a single-player, turn-based dice roguelike built on one promise: every death is fair. Enemies always telegraph their next move, dice resolve by rules you can learn — no hidden modifiers, no rigged near-misses — and every run is a seeded dungeon delve, so the same choices always play out the same way.

BUILD YOUR POOL

Draft, forge, and upgrade a pool of dice — keen edges, warding irons, lucky charms. Chase pairs, triples, and straights: combos turn a spare d4 into the best die on the table.

TEMPER A FACE

Once per delve, mark one face of one die at a rest — Blade, Aegis, Surge, or Echo. A tempered die wears its mark in the tray, and it lights up when the roll lands. Your pool becomes YOUR pool.

CHOOSE A KEYSTONE

After your first won fight, pick a run-shaping power (or decline): reward early strikes, carry unused block, pay for die variety. Every run gets a plan, not just a pile of dice.

PUSH YOUR LUCK

One risky reroll per turn. Exact kills pay out bonus embers; overkill splashes to the next foe. Assigning a 4 instead of a 6 is a real decision, every turn.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH

Branching maps with honest reward previews — see what an elite guards before you commit. Shops, forges, strange events, and a boss waiting at the bottom.

DIE FORWARD

Death banks embers. Spend them on new dice, delvers, hearth colours, and dice skins. Pick a starting boon and delve again in seconds — 15 boons keep restarts fresh.

KEEP THE RECORD

The Ledger tracks real feats — exact-kill streaks, boss clears, wins per delver. The Codex holds the lore of every enemy and relic you've met. A daily seeded delve shared by everyone, and a weekly delve with one declared modifier, give the long game a heartbeat.

FAIR BY DESIGN

• Zero ads, plays fully offline — analytics only if you switch it on
