Since Journey, there have been many games which attempt to make you feel like you’re on a grand adventure. No conflict necessary, just the journey itself and vague indicators to guide you on your way. It’s a wonderful concept, which is why it has been iterated on so much. Games like Abzû and GRIS give players much the same feeling, one of isolation and contemplation. Lost Ember, crowdfunded via Kickstarter in November 2016, does much of the same but gives players the opportunity to change how they navigate the world through animals.

The player is a wolf, once human, but no longer. Paired with a wisp-like companion, the wolf must explore the wilderness, and will slowly uncover the secrets of the Inrahsi culture. As you explore the world, you will come across memories, ghost-like imprints of things that have happened that you may witness again. The stories found within are always poignant and meaningful. Families struggling with sickness, betrayal, and much more. You will come to understand these people, as well as your own place in the world, and what turned you into a wolf, as you uncover more.
