Beta build, recorded from test runs with the game's own test autopilot (in-game text in German for now). Details may change before launch.

The game

Hard, fair, and made for your thumb.

Souls combat for the thumb

Attack, roll, block and skill sit on big buttons, movement on a thumb stick. Enemies have poise: light hits glance off a swing, while hammer, shield bash or parry break it.

Enemies you have to read

No floor markers. Monsters wind up visibly and every blow draws an arc in their colour. Spells charge in the hand before they fly.

A hand-built autumn world

The Forgotten Grove, with paths, clearings and falling leaves. A minimap and a golden guide band lead you to the next goal.

Embers, not save points

Rest at an ember to level up and trade. Fall, and you wake at the last ember. Your unspent experience stays behind as a glowing mark: reclaim it, or lose it with your next death.

Bosses with a story

The Grove Warden and the Oathless each get their own introduction, health bar and music. A keeper and an ember fox walk the path with you.

Offline and cool

No account, no network. An ECO mode and automatic frame rate keep your iPhone cool on longer sessions.

Bestiary

Meet what waits in the grove.

The world

Talk, trade, rest and find your way.

For players of

Dark Souls and Elden Ring, on the go.

Short, demanding fights for the train or the sofa. No controller, no free-to-play pressure, no energy timers.
