Jul 28, 2025Return to Ash is a visual novel about being dead and being alone. It has a strong premise, but one I don't think it lives up to. My biggest issue stems from how short it is as when it finally starts to get interesting, the story is over. Still, it's a fine time, and there is one strong story route in here that shows it could be done with a little more time. I still think it's worth a try, just know you'll do everything in an afternoon.

Jul 18, 2025Exploring life, death, and second chances, Return to Ash is a concise but contemplative visual novel. While the poignant plot might resonate with some, others may find the pacing slow and the cast hard to connect with.
