About the Game
Among Ashes is a first-person horror game about a haunted videogame and the disturbing story behind its creation.
It’s a stormy night in the early 2000s and your friend has sent you a link to a horror game that he found online: Night Call.
But as you play, strange things start happening in your apartment.
Something is terribly wrong with this game.
In the retro-styled Night Call, you will explore an old manor, solve puzzles and fight off the terrifying monsters that have infested its labyrinthian halls.
In the real world, however, you’ll be haunted by the dark entities that have latched on to this strange game, as you try to unravel the mystery behind Night Call and its enigmatic creator.
Among ashes the truth remains.
Uncover it, or you may not survive the night.

Up to date
Happy holidays everyone!
This version of Among Ashes includes the option to access the Night Call main menu from the pause menu, allowing you to switch between different Night Call save slots at any time without having to die.
This will hopefully solve some issues where due to some rare bugs (which I'm still trying to squish) players can end up stuck and unable to complete the game.
I hope this helps!

It's been a month since the launch of Among Ashes! Thanks everyone for sharing your feedback and reporting bugs you've found throughout the game!
Even though the feedback has been really positive overall, I wanted to add some options for those who have found the game to be too challenging! I'm also super happy to add more languages to the game so that more people can experience it all over the world!
- Traditional Chinese
- Turkish
- Added the option to activate "Censor Bars" over all the butt and breast-shaped polygons in the game. The game has been streamed and uploaded to sites like Youtube in its entirety without any issues, but for those afraid of the algorithms, this one's for you!
- Added "Aim Assist" settings
- Added "Infinite Saves" option for Easy and Normal difficulty modes, for those who find limited saves too stressful
- Added "Infinite Ammo" option for the Easy difficulty mode, for those struggling with ammo conservation
- Added "Infinite Health" option for the Easy difficulty mode, for those who prefer to focus on the story and puzzles
- Made Blocking more effective at absorbing damage
- Reduced damage from enemies in Normal difficulty
- Removed enemy from the garden maze in Easy and Normal difficulty modes
- Fixed Night Call puzzles still receiving input when tabbing out
- Added slight input delay in Night Call main menu to avoid loading errors when spamming buttons

- Removed the ability to interact with the lift buttons after pressing them
- Added missing subtitle to a specific sequence
- Fixed final boss door issues when reloading to a previous save file
- Added additional checks to avoid getting stuck after grabbing Amalia's Key
- Limited frame rate to 120fps to avoid some graphics cards from working at 100%
