A GAME BY YSK
A needle, a thread, a little courage.
We are crafting a journey through the dark.
01 / THE GAME
A strange, dark world.
Little heroes with warmth within.
Ember Dolls is a dark fantasy action RPG set in a world of cloth dolls. Worn fabric, buttons, needles and thread become the faces and tools of an adventure.
Catch your breath in the forest sanctuary, then step onto unfamiliar paths. We are refining combat built around reading and dodging attacks, discovering loot, and helping your doll grow.
