Our take on AsHes
The store presentation emphasizes atmosphere, ghost stories, and a deep Underworld journey, while the playable structure also depends on food gathering, shelter construction, crafting, and online multiplayer. That makes it as much a survival game as a folklore horror exploration experience.
What is AsHes?
Explore an Underworld shaped by Chinese folklore, moving through eerie environments while encountering ghosts with individual stories.
Survival involves searching for food, constructing shelters, and making weapons from available resources. Some ghosts can be fought, while others require avoidance and use of the surroundings. The game combines exploration, survival tasks, environmental use, ghost encounters, and a narrative about the inhabitants of the Underworld. It also includes online multiplayer, allowing friends to join the adventure. Progress centers on traveling deeper into the setting, discovering concealed secrets, and learning more about the ghosts encountered along the way.
