Ember Keep

The game

Six minutes of night, one campfire, and you against the cold. Feed the fire — size matters: twigs flare fast, logs burn slow and long. Gusts lean the flame and blow glowing embers into the snow, where the cold swallows them unless you chase them down. Your warmth ring is your life bar: as heat dies, the blue dark closes in on the amber light. Keep the fire alive until the dawn clock runs out and first light spills over the snow field.

How to play

• Click the three wood piles on the left (twigs, branches, logs) to feed the fire — bigger wood burns slower and longer; supplies regenerate over time.
• When the vane reads WIND RISING, click one of the 8 build spots around the fire pit to raise a snow-wall in the gust's path — a shielded wall takes the beating instead of your heat.
• Click the glowing embers blown into the snow fast — each rescue is +4 heat before the snow swallows them.
• Click the snow bank to melt a drink when thirst rises; click the flames to shake snow off a smothered fire or stoke weak coals.
• The light radius is your health: if heat hits zero, the night wins. Survive the full 6:00 clock to see dawn. P or Esc pauses; click or press Space to start.
