Among Ashes launches December 9

As a seasoned gamer with decades of horror gaming experience under my belt, I am utterly captivated by Among Ashes. The blend of metafiction and retro-inspired survival horror is a tantalizing proposition that has me yearning for the stormy nights of the early 2000s, when the line between reality and gameplay was as thin as a virtual veil.


The metafictional horror game ‘Among Ashes’ is set to be released on December 9 for the PlayStation 5 through the PlayStation Store, as well as on Steam for PC, as confirmed by its developers, Rat Cliff Games.

Here is an overview of the game, via Rat Cliff Games:

Under the Smolder: This metafictional horror tale revolves around a cursed video game and the chilling narrative of its genesis. One stormy evening in the early 2000s, your friend shares a link to “Night Call,” an online horror game they discovered. As you delve into it, peculiar occurrences begin to manifest within your living space. The game seems to be deeply corrupted.

As a gamer, I’d say Among Ashes offers a fresh twist with its dual-framing mechanism, where I find myself immersed in an authentic retro-style survival horror game nested within another chilling horror experience. It’s packed with distinct visual cues, hidden gems, interactive elements, and brain-teasing puzzles that take me on a nostalgic trip back to the dawn of the new millennium. In essence, it’s a heart-pounding journey through time, blending the old with the new to deliver an unforgettable terror-filled adventure.

In the retro-inspired survival-horror game “Night Call,” players delve into Stoker manor, tackling puzzles and battling the nightmarish beasts that have overrun its intricate corridors. Yet in reality, they’ll find themselves haunted by the sinister forces that cling to this peculiar game, as they race against time to decipher the game’s secrets and the enigmatic mind behind it.

Whatever you do… KEEP PLAYING.
