Among Ashes is a metafictional horror title about a haunted video game 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 Night Call, a horror game that he found online. As you play, strange things start happening in your apartment. Something is terribly wrong with the game.

The perfect experience for dark October nights, the updated demo gives players an enticing taste of the game's opening sequence, in which they download the mysterious video game ‘Night Call’ from unsettling online forum post, before loading in to explore the atmospheric and labyrinthian halls of Stoker Manor; coming face-to-face with the terrors that reside within.

Among Ashes features an innovative, meta-framing device in which players will experience a full retro-inspired first-person survival horror game within another first-person horror game, in addition to a host of unique presentational touches, mechanics and puzzles that transport players back to the turn of the millennium -  providing a terrifying dose of nostalgia in the process.
