- Hotfix (ver. 1.1.0F2) - 13 February 2025
Hey Lightbearers. We added a Rescue Feature for those of you who got stuck, not because of the Miasma, but because the procedural generation was mean to you.

- Steam Deck Verification - Update! - 16 September 2024
We are Steam Deck verified Hey Lightbearers! 🥳🎮 We have great news: after putting in a lot of work in the past weeks, we are now Steam Deck verified! While Into the Emberlands was previously “playable” on the Steam Deck, it should now be a way smoother experience for all you Deck users! 🤩 We believe that Into the Emberlands is the perfect game for relaxing on the couch after a long day, so this was very important for us (and we’re really big fans of handheld gaming ourselves). 🛋️🎮 In addition to Steam Deck support, the overall gamepad experience has been improved, so those of you who prefer playing with a controller should have a better time with the game now! What’s next? We are preparing a content update for the next big patch, so stay tuned as we will spill some hints on our Social Media accounts 😉. Also, please keep the feedback coming! Being in Early Access is a great opportu…
- Update 1.1.0: Into the Embalance - 18 July 2024
Hey Lightbearers! First of all: Thank you! 💝 Not just for playing Into the Emberlands, but for giving us your feedback. So far, almost all reviews for Into the Emberlands have been positive, and it’s wonderful to know that so many of you are enjoying the game! Your feedback is incredibly valuable for us and has helped us identify issues, fix bugs, and ultimately prepare this patch! While our initial plan was to focus on a content-update after the Early Access release, you made it clear to us that there are more pressing issues that involve quality of life (inventory management) and balancing improvements. These changes are at the heart of this update. BUT we also wanted to give you something back and enhance your experience with Into the Emberlands, so we added a few lightbearer skins that are available to all of you (after unlocking them for the first time)! ✨ Here’s what’s new in the…
- Hotfix (ver. 1.0.6.5) - 11 July 2024
Hey Lightbearers! We've just uploaded a hotfix for Into the Emberlands to address the infinite loading screen issues (e.g., when teleporting to the village or loading a save) that some of you faced in the last days. Please let us know if you continue to encounter this problem! 🎮 We also want to let you know that we are working on a Qol and balancing update that is inspired by community feedback and adresses some of your concerns (like difficult inventory management and the punishing gameplay cycle). Expect it late next week, so stay tuned! ✨ Tiny Roar & Daedalic Entertainment

- Patch 1.0.5 is here! - 25 June 2024
Hey Lightbearers! Thank you all for not just playing Into the Emberlands right after release (you’re the best!) but also giving us a ton of feedback and pointing out issues you’ve encountered. We’re actively working on resolving bugs as quickly as we can, and have tackled the following ones in this patch: Fixed achievements not triggering Heavy breathing To new horizons Prep time! How many Knacks do you need to… (Sadly, the achievements will not trigger retroactively, meaning you will have to reach them again to unlock them. We are sorry for that and hope for your understanding) Adjusted the buttons in the game over character selection screen as their previous layout caused an issue with the savegame Removed a pointless trade with the Village Shaman (previously gave you an ember crystal for an ember crystal) Fixed an issue where items couldn't be placed on the ground in specific biomes…

- Wanderful is now Into the Emberlands! - 7 May 2024
Hello Lightbearers! Wait - we know each other, don't we? Yes, we are the Devs behind Wanderful - well, we were ... but let us explain: A LOT has changed. So much, in fact, that we decided to rename the project to do its changes justice. We deliberated a lot after the feedback from last year’s demo, pondered about the “what”s and “why”s of the game, and brought new creative ideas to the table that changed the gameplay completely. The result of all that is basically a brand new game that we hope will captivate your hearts just as much. So, without further ado: Wanderful is now Into the Emberlands! Want more info about Into the Emberlands? While retaining the style and charm of Wanderful, Into the Emberlands has evolved into a delightful fusion of cozy exploration and rogue-lite excitement. As the chosen light bearer tasked with rebuilding the home of the charming Knacks, in a world threat…
