Emberwake: Idle Stars
A little star. An endless sky.
One fallen star, a handful of tiny helpers, and a moon garden that grows a little brighter every time you look in.
iPhone & iPad · In development

The story
A little star. An endless sky.
A single star has fallen into a quiet corner of the sky. Tap to gather its sparks, and the dark begins to warm.
Six tiny helpers arrive to tend the light with you, growing a moon garden across the drifting islands. Rekindle the star, let it go supernova, and begin a whole new galaxy — three layers of prestige, each one gentler and stranger than the last.
Five slow story chapters and twelve keepsakes wait along the way. Nothing here is in a hurry.
What's in it
A calm loop that keeps unfolding.
Everything below is in the current development build for iPhone and iPad.
Tap to gather sparks
A single warm tap loop. The star answers immediately, and never asks for more than you feel like giving.
Six tiny helpers
Glow moths and other small companions tend the light for you, each raising the sparks your garden collects.
Three prestige layers
Rekindle, supernova, and new galaxy — three nested resets that reshape how the sky behaves.
Five chapters, twelve keepsakes
Gentle story beats and small collectables that mark how far the light has travelled.
8 hours of offline light
The garden keeps gathering while you are away, up to 8 hours — or 24 with the Pocket universe upgrade.
No subscriptions
Optional videos, permanent extras and consumable moonstones. No subscriptions are planned for the first release.
In progress
How it looks right now.
A real capture from the development build. The store listing is prepared but not yet submitted, so there is nothing to download and no prices to show.
