Discover a free space game that runs in your browser
Looking for a space game you can try without downloading software? Embercraft lets you develop a planet, prepare missions and return to the same empire whenever you sign in. Here is what free access includes, how progress continues between visits and what to consider before choosing your first project.
Create my free accountStart with an account and your first planet
Open the game in your browser and register with an email address, or use Google when that option is offered on the registration page. You then establish and name your main planet. Its overview introduces your buildings, resources and upcoming projects. There is no shop purchase required to register or begin developing your world, so you can explore the basic decisions before deciding how you want to play.
Keep your empire between browser sessions
Your progress belongs to your account. Closing the tab does not reset your planet, and construction, research and journeys already underway continue while you are away. Resource production also continues until storage fills, so an extended break does not create an unlimited stockpile. Before leaving, review the completion times and available storage. On your next visit, check what has finished and which resources your next objective still needs.
Choose planning and timing over manual flying
You direct missions instead of steering ships in real time. One visit might be enough to start an upgrade or arrange a delivery; another might involve reading reports and preparing an operation. You can focus on your economy before exploring hostile bases and abandoned stations with suitable forces. Battles with other commanders and joint alliance projects require closer attention to travel times, available ships and the plans of other players.
Know what free access and optional purchases mean
You can start and progress without a purchase. The optional shop offers dark matter used for resource packs, accelerations and bonuses that can make a real difference to development. Free access therefore does not mean every empire has equal strength or the same resources. To decide whether Embercraft suits you, set a small goal on your first planet and see whether managing projects and returning for their results fits your routine.
