Longtreader Games Launch Team

TL;DR We’re launching a game + book and need your help!

S. D. Smith first told the Green Ember stories to his young daughter on an Appalachian porch. These tales soon outgrew the hills of West Virginia and made their way to every continent on earth.

Now, a decade later and over 1.5 million sold, The Green Ember isn’t just a story—it’s a movement. Green Ember fans haven’t just read the books. They’ve played them in their homes and backyards with rabbit ears and wooden swords.

And for the first time, there’s a new way to play. Step into this world like never before.

The newest story comes as a novel AND a companion video game. You can find out more at our Kickstarter page.

We enlisted the folks at Brazen Animation, a studio known for world-class visuals and storytelling, to help create an action-adventure game that honors and translates the Green Ember world into a game.

We want to create an immersive experience in the Green Ember world, but we’ve designed this game so players can come up for air. No micro-transactions. No zombie cannibal poker ads. In fact, no ads at all. And no player chats connecting kids to unsavory characters. (Well, OK, there are some bad guys, but you can use your fight them with your sword!) We’ve taken extra care and attention to make sure this game is something families can enjoy together without it taking over.

We’re thrilled to bring The Green Ember world to life in an entirely new way—through this action-packed Bunny Brawler Dungeon Crawler where you can play as Helmer, a farmer who must become a fighter!

But we can’t do it alone. We need your help to spread the word.
