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.
