About This Demo

"Every whisper lost on the frequencies was once the silent scream of a beating heart. Now, you only hear mine. Not yet... Don't go..."

Autumn 1998. As Rosenfeld is consumed by an unknown terror, whispers of ancient sects and clandestine government experiments ripple through the shadows. At the heart of this chaos, atop KRFD Radio Station, a man named Elias Vance grapples with the weight of his own hubris and the truths he chose to ignore. Contract of Ashes: Coda is a standalone, single-sitting psychological horror narrative experience set within the distorted reality of the Contract of Ashes universe. This isn't just an ending; it's an echo that unveils the terror of a larger story.

KRFD: A BEACON OF ECHOES

The decaying corridors of the radio station are a physical manifestation of Elias's personal hell. Once alive with the hum of broadcasts and the chatter of voices, the station now resonates with an ominous silence and muffled cries. Just as the shadows of a vast conspiracy stretch across every corner of Rosenfeld, so too do the station's walls hold unsettling whispers that hint at the pervasive madness. Descend deeper into the building, and you'll find subtle clues – fragments of a terrifying truth that connects to the wider, sinister narrative awaiting in the main game.

ELIAS VANCE: THE LAST BROADCAST

Confronting his past mistakes, Elias encounters "Corrupted" entities in every darkened corner – twisted echoes of what once were his colleagues. These unsettling figures offer a chilling preview of the horrors that lie in wait within the full Contract of Ashes experience. His mission: to silence the noise on the frequency, to make one final broadcast to his lost family – perhaps to warn them, perhaps merely to say goodbye. As Elias's last listener, you embark on this final journey with him, bearing witness to his regrets, his fears, and his fading hope. This experience serves as a prelude to the profound moral dilemmas and impactful choices that define the main game; here, your sole choice is to listen to this tragedy unfold.
