Your adventure.
At your pace.
Play without an account or an internet connection. Progress stays on your device. Export a save when you want a separate backup.
Can I play offline?
Yes. The game, sound, and translations are bundled with the app. Links you choose to open use your browser.
Does the game keep running while I’m away?
Progress is saved on your device. iOS can suspend the game in the background; the app does not add catch-up production while it is closed.
How do I keep a backup?
Open Settings and choose Export save. Use Import save to restore a native JSON backup. The game’s original save-code menu uses a separate format; use the matching import control.
Is this the official mobile edition?
No. A Quiet Ember is an independent iOS adaptation of the open-source browser game A Dark Room by Michael Townsend, doublespeak games, and contributors. It is separate from the official A Dark Room mobile edition.
When can I play?
A Quiet Ember is in preparation for iPhone and iPad. We’ll add a verified App Store link here when it is publicly available.
