THE WORLD IS FREEZING BEHIND YOU
Keep Longtusk alive. Spend coals to power weapons, dodge, and smoke. Reach the Green Valley before the Frost wall catches you.
The Frost took your winter home. Your tribe carries one fire worth saving: the Last Ember, burning on the back of Longtusk, a war mammoth. Feed its coals to the spear deck, war drums, and smoke pots. Pick your camps, trade amber, fight frozen beasts — and get there before the ice does.
Goal: outrun the Frost · ＋/− assigns coals · click a beast part to target · Space pauses fights
Valley ahead · Frost behind · Next trek costs 1 food
Weapons fire on their own at your target
Needs 2 coals on Spear Deck + a spear
Escape charge · more drums = faster
FIGHT
Weapons fire by themselves at whatever you target. Click LEGS so they stop dodging. Then, finish them. Press space to resume.
TUTORIAL
THE LESSON ENDS
Coals to systems, crew to stations, spears to the legs — and never let the Frost catch up. The real trail is longer and tougher, and it won't go easy on you.
CHOOSE THE NEXT CAMP
Blue line = Frost (always advances). Camp icons show what waits ahead. ＋/− on the tray assigns coals (power); this button spends amber on permanent strength.
UPGRADE SYSTEMS · AMBER
This spends amber to raise a system’s max strength (more pip slots). Assign live power with the tray’s ＋ / − and free coals — that is separate.
EVENT
A TRADER CAVE, WARM AND CROWDED
Furs are pulled aside and amber changes hands. The trader looks at your fire with respect.
AN ELDER OF THE OLD TRAILS
"You carry fire through a dying world. Take one gift, firekeeper, and keep walking."
A SHELTERED CAMP
Old fire pits, shelter from the wind, room for a mammoth to kneel. You could rest here — but the Frost never rests.
Rest is never free: the blue wall gains a camp while you heal.
