Welcome to theEmberverse

Unsealed. The first seal is broken.

Project Anvil drilled too deep near Harrow Falls, Ontario, and a pillar of gold light rose 40 km into the sky. The Ember buried beneath the world is leaking out, and everyone it touches has to pick a side. Recruit heroes and villains, build a squad of five, and fight for what comes next.

The comic

Episode 1: The Lid

The story of Unsealed starts as a comic. A drill crew chasing a bonus, a street busker who's never sung a spell in her life, a tired commander who has seen everything, until now. And something under Harrow Falls that has been waiting a very long time.

The story

Twelve thousand years in the making

Something fell to Earth before history began, and the first Wardens buried it behind seven seals. Unsealed, the first story of the Emberverse, starts the night the first one cracks.

  1. ~10,000 BCE
    The Falling

    Oruth crashes to Earth and begins draining its Ember. Ice ages, floods and lost civilizations follow.

  2. ~10,000 BCE
    The Binding

    The first Wardens, led by Aurel the Unmaker, bury Oruth in the Hollow Deep behind seven seals. Aurel becomes the seventh seal himself.

  3. Ancient era
    Seven hidden sites

    The seals are hidden around the world. What leaks out becomes the myths of every culture: oracles, dragons, miracle-workers.

  4. Middle Ages
    The Ashen Schism

    A Warden faction tries to tap a seal for power. It's crushed, and the survivors go underground. They become the Kindled.

  5. 20 years before
    An impossible signal

    A Halcyon geological survey finds an impossible energy signature in the Canadian Shield. Adrian Halcyon buries the data.

  6. Day Zero
    The Unsealing

    Project Anvil, the world's deepest borehole, breaches the First Seal near Harrow Falls. A pillar of gold light rises 40 km into the sky.

    The game starts here
  7. Days 1–30
    The Bleed

    Ember fissures open worldwide. The first Changed appear, and Harrow Falls is quarantined.

  8. Month 3
    The Ember cell

    Halcyon unveils the Ember cell. Markets explode, and the public cheers.

  9. Month 6
    The Bureau

    The Bureau of Anomalous Energy is formed to register the Changed.

  10. Month 8
    Vigil is founded

    After the Battle of Harrow Falls, where Cid, Ashfall, Bulwark and Cross first fight side by side.

Who wants the Ember

Pick your people

Every faction has a plan for the Ember. Heroes and villains each get their own campaign, and the best squads mix both.

Vigil

Cadence · Lumen · Tidewell · Cross

The Kindled

Warden heretics underground since the Ashen Schism. They call what lies beneath the seals the Mother Flame.

Mother Cinder · Ashwidow · Cinderhound

Halcyon Dynamics

Adrian Halcyon's company. Its survey found the Ember twenty years early, and he buried the data.

Adrian Halcyon · Overclock · Dr. Voss

The Bureau

The Bureau of Anomalous Energy registers and contains the Changed. Not everyone inside agrees with how.

Last Light

An anti-powers militia. Some of its best fighters have walked away.

Nullhand · Houndmaster Brix · Farsight

The Veiled Market

Curses sold by the ounce, and crime bosses who run the tunnels under the city.

Hex Mallory · Gutterking

Coming to the Emberverse

More fighters on the way

The roster keeps growing. These characters are in the works, from the early campaign farms to whole new squads.

Portraits are early looks and may change before launch.

What makes it different

More than five against five

Most squad games stop at one team of five. Unsealed builds whole modes around a deep bench, gives some characters a sixth seat, and runs Arena formats that ask for more than one good squad.

Reserves

Your bench fights too

The Long Watch · 5 fight, 10 wait
  • The Long Watch: bring up to 15. Five fight and the rest wait. Health and effects carry between waves, the fallen stay down, and you pick every replacement.
  • Deep Bench: an Arena format with two reserves who can swing the fight.
  • Phase Boss: Paywall takes three squads across three phases.
Field Support

A sixth seat

Squad of 5 + Field Support

Some characters carry a Field Support ability. Put one in the sixth seat and they stay out of the fight, but their ability still works for the whole battle.

  • Rare by design: only a few characters have one, and it sits apart from the rest of their kit.
  • Early access: Rustmend is the first, and a short campaign early on lets new players recruit her.
Arena

Four ways to fight

Ranked
vs
Deep Bench
vs
Burn Through · winner stays in
Gauntlet · best of three
  • Ranked Arena: one squad of five, heroes and villains together, on a 100-rank ladder.
  • Deep Bench: five fighters and two reserves a side.
  • Burn Through: three squads a side. The winner stays in with its damage and faces the next squad.
  • Gauntlet: three squads a side in three separate matchups. Win two to take it.
Heroes and villains together

The Arena lets you mix both sides into one squad.

Every character on their own clock

Specials and Ultimates charge at their own pace for each character, so no two squads keep the same rhythm.

Teams built to counter

Some squads are made to beat others, so no single team stays on top.

How it plays

Five in a squad. Every pick matters.

Battles are turn-based. You build a squad of five and every character fills a role, so a squad lives or dies on how those roles fit together.

Five roles
  • Protector

    Takes the hits and shields the squad with taunts, barriers and defense.

  • Brawler

    Fights up close, chains attacks and punishes anyone who swings back.

  • Blaster

    Big damage, whether one target or the whole enemy line.

  • Controller

    Slows, blinds and weakens enemies to bend the fight your way.

  • Support

    Heals, cleanses and keeps everyone standing.

Four origins
Mutant

The Changed, rewritten by the Ember.

Magic

Wardens, Wildflames and older things.

Tech

Armor, androids and Ember cells.

Skill

No powers. Just training and nerve.

Light their Embers

Earn Ember shards to recruit a character, then keep collecting them to light up to seven Embers and make them stronger.
