Press release:
Lanzarote, Spain – 15th April 2024.
The Lanzarote-based (Spain) indie games developer Rat Cliff Games are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released a playable demo for their upcoming first-person survival horror game “Among Ashes” (the said demo is available right now for PC via Steam as part of the Steam FPS Fest).

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 game 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 start of the millennium.

The demo offers a chilling 30-minute taste of the game’s opening sequence, in which players will download the enigmatic Night Call from an unsettling message board post, explore the atmospheric and labyrinthian halls of Stoker Manor, before coming face-to-face with the horrors that lie within.

Whatever you do.

Among Ashes is now in development for PC and is currently scheduled to launch later this year. A demo is now available via Steam where you can also wishlist the game. For more information please visit the official Rat Cliff Games website, or follow on Twitter and Instagram.
