A release window for Among Ashes is set with Among Ashes aiming to give us some new horror to experience this coming December
The holidays are coming up with all of those “joyous” days of family and friends getting together, so that means it is time for the horror to come out with Among Ashes. That would be close to what Rat Cliff Games is looking at for the PS5 and PC one could think as we have a release window for the game set around then. Okay, so, most likely that is not the plan of the team as it just makes for good business to launch Among Ashes during the gift-giving holidays, but for those who see it as a darker time of year, it is fun to joke around about it. That and look for another amazing horror experience to take in while dodging all of those terrible humans and conversations that everyone feels forced to do during the time.
The extra fun part about Among Ashes, if you have not paid any attention to the title before now, is that it is a video game about playing a haunted video game. One that might have been gifted to our character during the holidays back in the early 2000s. That is why some of the game does look like it is housing some dated graphics and others look a bit more modern. Once we start playing the game, in this instance Night Call, strange things keep happening in the world of Among Ashes. Things that will keep getting worse unless we keep playing the game and trying to figure out the various mysteries surrounding how this game was made and what could actually be haunting it. A fun metanarrative to go along with a different narrative. Also, to go along well with the setting of the times in our real one. It works on many different levels.

Are you going to give Among Ashes a try when it launches or does it feel like this title might be too meta for your normal tastes out there? Do you think there will be some real-world link to things in the game or will that be going one level too deep? How do you think the other horrors will play out for us and will it be something other than in our character’s head? Head on down to the comment section to share those thoughts and any others that might be cropping up after all of this. We are intrigued by what Among Ashes has to offer, and we will keep on checking in on the game as more details are shared. Please keep on checking in on the site for all of those details too so you are not left out of the loop.
