About this game
In a world on the brink of extinction, where the last human colonies endure the relentless assault of robots corrupted by an ancient virus. Lug, a young villager, fights to protect his people in a land ruled by despair. After a mysterious earthquake, his fate is forever changed when he discovers powerful energy crystals that connect him to the consciousness of his long-lost mother and to the Vital Thread, the force that binds all life on the planet.
Traverse a stunning voxel-art world brimming with life and secrets, engage in fast-paced real-time battles against relentless mechanoids, and tackle clever puzzles that challenge both your wits and courage. Every choice will drag you closer to a defining dilemma: save the robots at the cost of all organic life, or forge a fragile balance where both can coexist.
The fate of the world rests on whether Lug can break the cycle of hatred and choose a new future for all.

Release Date Update: Dodging a Giant! 🏹
Hi everyone,I’m reaching out to let you know about a slight change of plans. I need to move the release date of Emery Hearts just a bit.As many of you probably know, a few days ago the Ocarina of Time remake was announced for the exact same day Emery Hearts was scheduled to launch. Since we share a very similar audience, and considering how hard it would be to get media coverage alongside a giant like that, competing directly would be incredibly tough for a solo project like mine.I don't want to make you wait much longer, so I’m only delaying the game by a few days: the new official release date will be November 11th.As always, thank you so much for your support and patience. We are almost there!Read full article on Community Announcements (IndieDevHell)AnnouncementsOfficial

See you in November!Read full article on Community Announcements (IndieDevHell)AnnouncementsOfficial
