About Ashes

Ashes is first person adventure with a heavy focus on narrative and atmosphere.

We mixed a few game genres to try to achieve something new.
The game draws from walking simulators, first person medieval adventures and horror games. It's not exactly a horror game nor it is an adventure rpg, it is something in the middle to be enjoyed in one sitting, like a short interactive bed time story for casual players.

You play as a man that wakes up with memory loss in a dungeon, as you progress through the dungeon you get your memories back unraveling the mystery behind your situation.

With puzzles, first person combat, weapon management, platforming and story telling, we hope to give a new kind of adventure to the everyday gamer.

Features
  • Engaging story
  • First person combat
  • First person platforming
  • Puzzles
  • Destructible objects for stress relief

What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

Ashes is a short first-person dungeon crawler that players find technically flawed and underdeveloped for its price point. While some appreciate its hour-long runtime, simple combat, and atmospheric presentation, most criticize the poor jumping mechanics, lack of polish with frequent bugs, slow movement speed, predictable story, and general lack of engaging content beyond walking through corridors and fighting basic skeletons. Players generally advise avoiding it or waiting for significant improvements.

Poor. And overpriced for what it is. The self-proclaimed comparisons to skyrim do it no favours. It's an hour long trek through a standard dungeon setting with nothing much interesting happening. You walk corridors, collect skull collectibles, bash skeletons, jump a few platforms, and that's it. Avoid. EDIT: Just noticed that two of the positive reviewers on this game have only 2 reviews on steam - and their other review is for the other game by this developer. Read into that what you will.

Pretty good game. It is a mix of a walking simulator and a first person melee combat game. Fighting is really simple though and you won't fight that much. There are also a few puzzles and platforming sections here and there. The game is just about one hour long, but the price is very fair for that. The only downsides I see are the story and the very slow movement speed of your character and that the stamina empties so quickly.

Story was predictable, jumping is bad, combat is fine but range is crazy small. I missed a skull i think but idk if that matters in a diff ending or not. It is cheap enough but the time spent isn't worth it. Voice acting is bad and you never care for the character anyway. Just save your time unless you are very easily amused. (just so you know, I did come into this giving it the benefit of the doubt.)

I found this game by mistake. Despite its simple setup - equip a bone for attack and defense yet there's no enemies to fight, jump over pipes instead of crouching underneath, as there’s no crouch mechanic, and navigate through broken stairs - It needs significant polish. In just 10 minutes of gameplay I got stuck on 2 different pipes twice and on the floor once. Additionally, there’s no manual save feature. The narration attempts to convey emotion, but it’s unclear what happened to the man in the dungeon or to his daughter. Unfortunately, due to too many bugs I’ve decided to pass on this game.

Fun short narrative with decent voice acting. The game play is a bit basic, but easy to grasp.

Ashes is a good graphic First person dungeon crawler type containing combat Puzzles collecting green glowing skeleton skulls and the music not that bad I recommend it because of the graphics Hoping the developer will build on this and do some more levels add some new stuff
