"Embers of the Forgotten" is a fantasy mystery interactive story set around a strange campfire in a dark forest. Developed entirely in 2 hours and 42 minutes using the Ren'Py engine, this game follows a traveler and a forest guardian as they uncover unsettling clues about a trapped spirit, an ancient curse, and secrets buried deep within the woods. With limited time and resources, every decision you make leads to different outcomes, where you must decide whether to break the curse, unveil hidden truths, or leave the darkness unresolved. This compact yet immersive game showcases the power of quick, independent development and the depth of narrative choice in a short amount of time.
