Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We decided to give players early access to make sure we're making the best game possible. This is more than just an opportunity to play in early access; we're building the future of the game together. Your feedback and experiences will help shape and improve the game.
FIRE AND ASHES is a psychological survival horror game featuring speech interaction with artificial intelligence.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are committed to improving this game as much as possible, so the length of the early access phase depends largely on the feedback we receive from players. The current plan is to release the game in late 2024, but that could change depending on features added and how the game progresses in early access.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“FIRE AND ASHES is not just another horror game. Our big dream is to make it the most unforgettable and chilling experience for you. What you see now in Early Access is just the beginning. What's in store for you in the full version?
To have an idea about it, check out the about section of the game. In addition to bug fixes and improvements to the balance and core gameplay, we plan to add more voice interaction features with artificial intelligence.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In Early Access, you can play one of the levels of the game where you can fully try out voice interaction, familiarize yourself with how it works and what it looks like.
So what does it represent?
Voice-interaction AI' is a sound mechanic by which your voice will be present in the game, and it will be directly related to gameplay. Opponents will hear you, your shouts, your words, and even your breathing. They will react to any sounds the player makes. Somewhere you will have to whisper, somewhere on the contrary shout to scare someone, and somewhere hold your breath.
This will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the process of passing the game. Not just to watch, feeling yourself the main character, but to become him!

The game's voice interaction during gameplay

Break through the door with your Shout-Rage.

To anger the enemy, use your voice.

Underwater, it's best to keep your mouth shut and hold your breath.

To lure a blind enemy, use your voice.

And so on...

And this is all you can try in Early Access, which is one of the levels of the game, and we are planning to have nine of them in total.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will be in line with the content of the game after the release of early access. Therefore, the price will be increased.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We pay attention to player feedback, watch streams and lead the community. Our goal is to make the game as comfortable and interesting as possible. The community will be involved in every stage of development and can provide us with feedback and suggestions in Steam discussions, as well as on our Discord server or on Twitter.”

Attention!

Before starting the game, we ask you to properly adjust the sensitivity of your microphone.

(Correct setting will make the voice interaction in the game better)

Make a sound and watch the scale. The level of your voice should go above the white bar. If it doesn't, use the microphone sensitivity adjustment to fix it.

(You can always adjust the microphone sensitivity by going to settings and the audio section)
