Emberfall

The forest is dark. Keep the lantern lit until dawn.

You are the Keeper, a hooded lantern-bearer lost in a haunted wood. Shadows pour out of the trees, and every minute there are more of them. Your weapons fire on their own. You move, dodge, gather embers, and pick a gift at every level. Survive 10 minutes and the sun rises.
