About This Game

Meet your Maker and Kill Them.

That which was Dead refuses to Die. One of the Slaughtered Gods is resurfacing; bringing with them all the terrors of the night as the world warps under their dead weight. Through hidden doorways and between flesh-strewn trees you seek the name of the one who dares haunt this world and, in fantastic ritual, rip them from out of the Veil to face you in grim combat.

To Ash and Ember is a singleplayer Dark Fantasy Event-based RPG largely inspired by the Arkham Horror 2nd Edition board game with modern twists and nods to modern modes and ways of thinking about dice and cards. This is a game of time management and decisions, of who to save and what to sacrifice, and of a City whose windows and streets grow darker and stranger the longer your battles continue.

Features
  • The Slaughtered Gods leave indelible marks. Investigators may become as warped as that which they fight: going mad, growing horns, and perhaps even dying and becoming a Wraith. The City's locations may burn, be distorted, or become infested with otherworldly abominations.
  • The World forever twists underfoot. You will routinely encounter World Distortions that change how the game is played or impose restrictions as the Slaughtered God stirs in their astral grave.
  • Enlighten the World or Burn it. If all is lost you may abandon a Worldline to its fate and migrate to another. Even if Investigators fall, you can Enkindle new ones to continue the fight against the constant horrors that face this world.
  • Fate's cruel but fair dice. In true board-game fashion, you roll against Fate herself to determine the outcomes of the many tests that face you with six-sided dice; each Investigator has their own strengths and weaknesses.
  • This is Your Story. Game events are presented as mini-narratives with branching paths, opportunities, and perils. Your choices may open up new possibilities -- or seal them.
  • Come as you are -- armed to the teeth. Wield, discover, empower, and sell an array of spells, weapons, and beasts alone or with Companions and Allies as you stand against the Resurrections.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Characters may be killed and made to suffer both physically and mentally as consequence to the player's choices or as an outcome to their trials. Bodies may be twisted, distorted, and mutilated in means both grotesque and surreal. There are descriptions of mass unrest, death, famine, plague, and madness. References to non-consensual sex, drug, and alcohol abuse may be rarely encountered. Suicide is contemplated by more than one character on more than one occasion in desperate scenarios; rarely, the player is given the option to engage in that suicide in hopes for a better outcome for the world or to spare themselves from otherwise seemingly inevitable suffering.
