About
We’re a group of young artists and developers who grew up on games like The Witcher and Cyberpunk. Those stories, those worlds… they shaped who we are as creators. We came to the UK from Poland, bringing with us a passion for games and a drive to tell stories that ignite the imagination.
We founded Ember Crows to create immersive RPGs that blend the best of both worlds: the rich storytelling tradition of Polish game development with the innovative spirit of the Western game industry. We’re not industry veterans, but we’re fuelled by a desire to make our mark and contribute to a new era of gaming. Think of us as a fresh voice, eager to share our vision and passion with the world.
Our debut project, codenamed Project Veles, is a testament to that passion. It’s a neo-noir cyberpunk RPG, the first game in a planned trilogy that will introduce a brand new and original IP from Ember Crows. We’re pouring our hearts and souls into this game, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
This is just the beginning. We’re here to stay, to push boundaries, and to create games that will be remembered for years to come. Join us on this journey as we propel a new era of RPGs, fuelled by our passion for original storytelling.
Welcome to the shadows
Ah, this city… these streets… *[coughs]*… they shimmer with neon, but it’s a facade. A glittering mask hiding the rot beneath. Technology, they say, would be our salvation. Hah! It only amplified our vices, our greed… our darkness.
I’ve seen things in these rain-slicked alleys, things that would curdle your blood. So, tread carefully, friend. This city… it bites back.
