About the game

Run a rhythm-based forge and become a legendary blacksmith! Craft magical items to the music, meet and befriend strange folklore creatures, and solve the mystery of the lost valley to break the Cinderling curse.

Original Steam description

In the Cinderling become a blacksmith and run a rhythm-based forge! Craft magical items to the music, meet mythical Nordic creatures, and rise to fame as a legendary forge master to break the Cinderling curse.

Heat, shape, and quench raw metals where your musical precision dictates the quality, value, and power of every item you create. Blacksmithing is no longer a static simulation - it’s an immersive, rhythm-driven craft! Experience the natural, tactile tempo of the forge across a sequence of dynamic mini-games.

Meet magical Nixies, fiery Imps and a whole group of Nordic folklore creatures, as you craft items for them and help them with their requests! Learn about the search for the Fairy Treasure all while balancing your materials, negotiate blueprints, and adapt to changing world events. 

Every order presents a strategic crossroads. Choose your Craft Principles wisely: prioritize Fortune for immediate coin, Favor to build long-term faction reputation and unlock materials, or Finesse to master complex recipes.  

You are the only human in a valley consumed by a chaotic treasure rush. Caught in a contract with a sentient flame and guided by a crow, you must decide where your loyalty truly lies. Discover ancient secrets, chat with gnomes, and uncover the truth behind the Cinderling curse.

Features:

  • Rhythm driven crafting at your finger tips

  • Laid-back shopkeeping and a living economy

  • Explore a cozy-grim, mythic Nordic valley and meet lots of eccentric characters

  • Complete quests to upgrade your skills and build your reputation

  • Uncover the mystery of the Cinderling Curse
