    Among Ashes is clever horror with a unique approach to fear, never outstaying its welcome and keeping you on edge until the end.

    Among Ashes is an unexpected and pleasant surprise within survival horror genre. A game capable of breaking the wall between the player and the narrative from the other side of TV.

    Among Ashes is a great addition to this already stellar year of indie horror. It doesn’t quite reach the highs of titles like Hollowbody, but is an enjoyable dose of horror nostalgia that pulls together a range of approaches to create an identity that feels fresh and unique.

    Despite these flaws, Among Ashes shines where it matters most. Its shortcomings don’t detract significantly from the overall experience. I highly recommend it to horror enthusiasts, though you might want to avoid playing it alone in the dark.

    At the end, I found something extremely memorable, with some visuals that are easily some of my favorites of the year, in a package that is good as-is, but would be great if only expanded in scope.

    Among Ashes is one of those indie titles that should be celebrated for its great ability to break out of the box through brilliant narrative and game design solutions. However, it has to curb its ambitions because of so many technical problems due to its low budget.
