Emberbound
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Android
EMBERBOUND
A furry visual novel about reunion, memories, and an unfinished promise.
After leaving his hometown for many years, Yunxi returns to Andu Town for a short stay due to matters concerning his old family house.
What was supposed to be a simple visit soon becomes something unexpected.
A reunion with his childhood friends brings back memories of the past: the summer they spent together, the fireworks they never got to see, and the promise that was left unfinished.
As old memories meet the present, Yunxi will spend time with his former friends, discover the changes they have experienced over the years, and face the feelings that were once left unspoken.
Can he finally complete the promise that was left behind?

This vn is excellent. Just reading chapter 1 makes me already feeling nostalgic and bittersweet. The story, character portrayal, art and music are all 10/10. Shengyang is also best boy and deserves the world ♥️
This game is already awesome. The story is great and the music selection in combination with the writing sets up the atmosphere really REALLY well. I almost teared up in the warehouse. The characters are all well written too and don't feel like blatant cliches. They could definitely use more expanding but, well, it's just the beginning so of course lol. Much as I like and am attracted to every member of the cast and would be keen on their routes if this is a multi route game, I'd still be pretty happy to just watch Yunxi's story with Shengyang if that was the only option. Totally looking forward to this game's development and future. <3
The characters look very familiar to me, especially the art style. I’ve been trying to find the games that had the similar art style but can’t find anything, I’m pretty sure I remember a few of them but still can’t pinpoint anything. If anyone knows, please let me know.
The game is great, I like it so far. Just that they look so familiar. I don’t know why
There's a tiny issue where text to speech repeats every line twice
Why does shengyang reminds me grantly bell from knight college?!!?!??? Overall this vn 10/10 dont play it 😭😭(PLAY IT)
Shengyang will officially be my Grantly Rebound 🙂↕️
i REALLY love where the story is going! Shenyang and Linche are so cute omg. Im just wondering if the itch page will get the chapter 2 update💔
Already had , pay 15 dollar to play :))
Where do you buy it?
It's really good, first time seeing a vn that really capture well the nolstagic feeling.
If I'm being nitpicky, I feel like the sprites and their expression are a bit similar/ not distinct enough. All the characters also have somewhat similar body frame, so I notice it even more, especially the tiger and the fox (character design).
But overall it's really good.
this visual novel is so peak, it made me tear up, man i wish i had money to support you but will you guys ever release the full version in the future on itch io?
S'il vous plaît une traduction française 😭😭😭😭😭
This vn is so peak it made me tear up🥺😭
I wish i had money to support you!!!
Top tier presentation, atmosphere, music and group dynamics! My only doubt is why give so much relevance to Yunxi's crush on Shengyang when its not even his route, if we know he likes him already its gonna be weird having him romance any of the others. Thats just my opinion tho, great work
Played the demo and really enjoyed it. Really impressed with the writing though I wonder how, with so much emphasis on Yunxi's relationship with Shengyang in chapter 1, any of the other characters are going to stand a chance.
English translation was very smooth and well done though I did notice a few awkward lines. There also seems to be a small formatting error whenever an apostrophe is used.
Looking forward to the full release.
This is definitely one of the best visual novels I've ever played, I really loved it (:. I just wanted to know, by any chance will you be implementing more languages in the future? Like Spanish or Portuguese?
Edit:I'm excited for the next update :D
It's been a long time since I've felt this excited, sad, and full of mixed emotions. It stirred up a lot of emotions in me. I felt very nostalgic while reading this VN. I pray that this VN will grow smoothly and gain many supporters. ❤️
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT UPDATE!!
I actually really really enjoyed this game!, the story really made me feel like... I don't know, it's hard to explain. Yunxi and Shengyang... I hope you don't make them separate😭💔
I really loved their story, I hope they will always be together (I know I'm a bit too dramatic)
we'll still waiting for the next update soon~ (please don't die)
He was whipping up nostalgia in a kettle
One of the rare occasions where i want a happy ending in game, definetly buying it when it releases
Will there be NSFW? I look forward to more loving scenes
12/10, i need the next chapter QwQ
1 click after pressing start game and there is already a really cute tiger 10/10
This was so cute, the arts amazing! Cant wait for the full release!!!
So for some reason Itch seems to be flagging the page for suspicious activity, but you can still download the vn. Hope everything is okay!
This quarantine warning is triggered by itch.io's automated security bot and does not mean the game contains any viruses.
This is a Chinese development studio. During active development, they do not have much spare time to polish their store page. They may use tools such as VPN to access this international platform, which creates multi‑region login records and triggers this security flag.
This is a legitimate game. Things will get better as development moves forward, Hope you have fun playing！
A very beautiful start to this project.
I can tell this will be a heartwarming, but melancholic story.
Really love this visual novel! Is there any chance I could hear the OST/Soundtrack without being ingame? Thanks!!
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Hello! I just finished this visual novel, and I absolutely LOVE it and am looking forward to seeing more content in the future. Would it be okay if I use the game's character illustrations/sprites and background arts from the game in a personal project of mine that I do not really intend to publish or share with anyone, including friends, of course, as its sole purpose is for self-entertainment? I'd have the characters interact in a casual/silly way, nothing sexual (I am against and do hate doing that kind of content). This is also my first time creating one, and this very Visual Novel has inspired me to create visual novels myself despite its recent release. (Apologies for the countless edits 😔)
I think that’s totally fine! Lots of players make fan works for this game on Chinese social media, and the official team sometimes likes and comments on those fan creations. I believe the devs would be really happy to see what you create.
Really?! That's cool! Though, where should I post them for the official team to see? And maybe... get to play and see what I made? I'm still waiting them to create their discord server.
Most Chinese players post their fan works on QQ Channels, Douyin (Chinese TikTok), or Bilibili. The devs often give encouraging feedback to those creations. If you're sharing internationally,For now I think X (Twitter) would be the best place for your work.😊
I really like this vn, especially the cgs. When the full game released, how much would it be? Looking forward for it :))
Thank you! We’re glad you enjoyed the CGs! The final price hasn’t been decided yet, but the full version will be a paid release. We’ll announce the pricing closer to release.
Can you check why itch website always show warning when I attempt to download?
I wanted to ask if the full version will be for Android as well, also there seem to be 5 more CGs that are locked and I wanted to ask if they are unlockable in the demo or not (if so, how do I unlock them?)
I think the full release will keep Android support. Those locked CGs are just temporary placeholders that will be added in future updates. There is no way to unlock them right now.
Quá là hay rồi. Mong chờ chap 2
Very nice demo. I hope you can continue through with English support, since many CN FVN have dropped English support midway.
Also maybe add whiskers to Shengyang? He's a feline and there's a line describes 'his whiskers flared' while Shengyang has none on his face.
Thank you! English support will continue with future chapters. And thanks for pointing out the whiskers detail — we'll take a look at that as well!
I was so excited when I saw that you had released the game, and wow—I have no words to describe how beautiful it is. I’m really looking forward to the upcoming updates. Keep up the great work, and thank you for creating such a beautiful visual novel.
The images are beautiful and the content is great; I'm eagerly awaiting the next update.
Thank you so much! We’re really glad you enjoyed it. More updates are on the way!
I found a bug,the game crashes when I press the Q.save button
On line 1437, there's a variable name that adds points to linche, even though that section is about Cangyu carrying us.
Bug found on line 3987: the graffiti text hardcodes '云晞' (Yunxi) instead of using the player name variable, unlike other scenes that properly reference the custom name
Thank you very much for the BUG data you provided. I will check and modify it.
I cried four times while playing chapter 1.
I had the pleasure of playing the preview version, and I found the content to be wonderful. I was wondering if the game will be free or paid upon full release? Should it be a paid release, I will certainly purchase it to support your work
(I apologize if this offends you)
The demo version is a free trial, and the full version needs to be paid. ---Sourced from the official X (Twitter) account
By the way,The game’s Steam store page is available for wishlisting.
Not offensive at all! 😄
The demo is free, while the full version will be paid.
You can also support us on Patreon for more content and early access. 💚
Genuinely one of the best fvn i have played, im so excited for the next chapters for the demo!
the game was flagged for scam by Itch Io, is there a way to remove the flagging?
Thanks for letting us know!
We’ve already fixed the download issue and are checking the itch.io flag as well. Hopefully it will be cleared soon.
Huge congrats on dropping Emberbound on itch.io!
