At just under 13 minutes, EMBERFALL — THE HOUND doesn't overstay its welcome. It works equally well as a bridge between the fall of Valdris and the coming war for existing fans, and as a gritty, self-contained dark fantasy thriller for newcomers. Come for the impressive technical blend of next-gen animation tools, but stay for a surprisingly grounded story about a weapon trying to figure out what it is once the war is over.
