Our Story
Built by a small studio with a big world in mind
Ember Fable Studio is an independent team of twelve based on Errol Street in North Melbourne. We started Quest Phoenix Realm in 2019 as a weekend prototype and have shipped a new realm roughly every winter since. Every quest, boss, and rune is hand-tuned by people who actually play the game on the tram to work.

What the community is saying
“I finished the Ashvale campaign on my commute over two weeks. The offline mode actually works — no dropped progress on the tram.”
“Cross-play guild raids are the real deal. Our group is split between iPhones and Pixels and we never notice the difference.”
“The season pass respects your time. I bought Ember, missed three weeks, and still kept every cosmetic I earned.”
“Best controller support I’ve seen in a mobile RPG. Paired my DualSense and remapped everything in two minutes.”

Frequently asked questions
Getting Started
Yes. The full 40-hour campaign and all five realms are free. We offer an optional Ember season pass at AUD $9.99 and cosmetic packs, but nothing is locked behind a paywall and there is no pay-to-win.
We support Android 9.0 and above and iOS 15 and above. The game targets 60 fps on modern hardware and scales gracefully down to devices released around 2019.
Gameplay
The entire solo campaign works offline, so you can play on a flight or in a tunnel. Your progress syncs automatically the next time you connect. Guild raids and seasonal events require an internet connection.
Yes. Your account and guild carry across both platforms, and you can raid with friends regardless of which device they use. Simply sign in with the same Realm ID on any phone.
Account & Billing
You can cancel any time through your Google Play or App Store subscription settings. You keep every reward you have already unlocked, and you will not be charged for the next season.
