The Mana Tree has withered…

Mana has vanished from the world, and monsters now roam the land. A young girl, searching for her missing family, crosses paths with destiny. Will the Mana Tree blossom once again? Or will darkness claim the world forever?

Embers of Mana is a brand-new Mana adventure for the Game Boy. Embark on a grand journey filled with mystical locales, gripping story scenes, foreboding dungeons, and a sweeping soundtrack. All in the palm of your hand!

In 1991, SquareSoft released Seiken Densetsu, the first game in the Mana series, known as Final Fantasy Adventure in the U.S. and Mystic Quest in Europe. Now, in 2026, Ok Impala! presents a faithful homage: a complete ROM hack built using the original game’s engine.

Crafted over four years, Embers of Mana captures the spirit of 1991, when small, passionate teams created timeless handheld adventures. It delivers a fresh experience that feels authentic to the era—simple, immersive, and full of wonder.

Ok Impala! is the creator of Zelda II – Amida’s Curse and Super Mario Kart – Epic Racers. Embers of Mana marks his third major ROM hack, and a loving tribute to the golden age of Game Boy gaming.
