Overview

About this game

Emberlands: Desktop Village is a cozy idle village builder designed to sit anywhere on your screen while you work on other tasks.
Set in the colorful world of Into the Emberlands, you’ll collect resources, unlock your favorite buildings and characters, and grow a village that’s uniquely yours — all while a little knack roams around your screen for resources.

Your tiny co-worker

Place the game anywhere on your screen and the little knack will keep you company. As he explores, he’ll gather resources for you — use them to unlock new placeable tiles and expand your floating village!

Create your perfect village

The more resources your knack collects, the more your world will grow. Place tiles on multiple levels and design your own little corner of the Emberlands. Whether you want a bustling town or a quiet meadow, it’s completely up to you.

Collect ember

Strategically arrange your buildings to boost ember production. And with your ember, you can upgrade your little knack buddy, or discover more different tiles to place!

Discover new tiles

Spin the prize wheel to discover over 60 tiles across multiple collections. Each set adds a different vibe and look for your floating village!
