[h3]We are Steam Deck verified[/h3]
Hey Lightbearers! 🥳🎮
We have great news: after putting in a lot of work in the past weeks, we are now Steam Deck verified! While Into the Emberlands was previously “playable” on the Steam Deck, it should now be a way smoother experience for all you Deck users! 🤩
We believe that Into the Emberlands is the perfect game for relaxing on the couch after a long day, so this was very important for us (and we’re really big fans of handheld gaming ourselves). 🛋️🎮
In addition to Steam Deck support, the overall gamepad experience has been improved, so those of you who prefer playing with a controller should have a better time with the game now!

[h3]What’s next?[/h3]
We are preparing a content update for the next big patch, so stay tuned as we will spill some hints on our Social Media accounts 😉.
Also, please keep the feedback coming! Being in Early Access is a great opportunity for us to keep fine tuning Into the Emberlands and to improve balancing and QoL, but we need your help for that! Our Discord server is the best place to let us know what you think about the game and what we could still improve. 😊✨
Yours,
Tiny Roar & Daedalic Entertainment
