It’s a stormy, cold winter night in December, and your friend sends you an instant message pointing you towards Night Call, a horror game that he found online. You download it, but as you play, strange things start happening in your apartment. Something is terribly wrong with the game.

Among Ashes features a multilayered narrative, and meta-framing device which cleverly nests a full retro-inspired first-person survival horror game within another horror game. Players will be transported to the turn of the millennium via a range of perfectly implemented presentational touches, narrative surprises, smart gameplay mechanics and classic puzzles.

In the retro-styled Night Call, players will explore the dimly lit labyrinthian halls of Stoker Manor; solving conundrums while they fight to survive the nightmarish creatures that lie within. However, in the real world, they’ll be haunted by dark entities that have latched on to this strange game - as they frantically try to unravel the mystery behind the game and its enigmatic creator.

Among Ashes is now available for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam. At launch, it supports the following languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean.
