The announcement was made during The Indie Horror Showcase, in which a brand new trailer for the title was premiered; featuring nightmarish glimpses of never-before-seen terrors that await those brave enough to play.
Previously announced for PC only, 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.
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, surprises, mechanics and puzzles that transport players back to the turn of the millennium - providing a terrifying dose of nostalgia in the process.
In the retro-styled survival-horror Night Call, players will explore Stoker manor; solving puzzles and fighting off the nightmarish creatures that have infested its labyrinthian halls. In the real world, however, they'll be haunted by the 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.
