Among Ashes invites players into a metafictional nightmare, delving into the haunting tale of a cursed video game and the sinister secrets lurking behind its creation. Set against a backdrop of a stormy night in the early 2000s, players embark on a harrowing journey after receiving a chilling link to "Night Call," an eerie game discovered online by a friend. However, as the game unfolds, the boundaries between reality and nightmare blur, unleashing a torrent of terror within your own apartment.
One of the game's standout features is its innovative meta-framing device, plunging players into a retro-inspired first-person survival horror experience nested within another horrifying layer. With a plethora of unique mechanics, puzzles, and a hauntingly immersive atmosphere, "Among Ashes" transports players back to the eerie beginnings of the millennium, where every shadow hides a sinister secret.
The demo, a heart-pounding 30-minute teaser, plunges players into the gripping opening sequence. From downloading the enigmatic "Night Call" from a foreboding message board to navigating the labyrinthine halls of Stoker Manor, the demo offers a tantalizing glimpse into the horrors awaiting brave souls.
Prepare to be haunted, as Among Ashes invites you to confront your deepest fears in a world where nightmares come to life. The Among Ashes demo is available now as a part of Steam FPS Fest.
