To Ash is a unique RPG developed by California-based therapist Kyle Ballentine. It’s a simple, old-school RPG but with a twist. This game (PC version) is right now available for free on Indiegala website.
In this Indie game Players take the role of Demitri, a hero who once saved the world from a great evil, and had the gods freeze him so that he could be revived should the evil ever return.
The twist in the “To Ash” is as the player begins the game with a lot of powers, but loses them as time goes by. The main character Demetri is a fading warrior but he will have a few partner characters throughout the game to help balance battles.
The game will take around six-to-10 hours to complete and the game theme revolves around death, ageing and acceptance, and it shows.
“I’m trying to drive home a message about accepting what you can’t control, primarily death,” Ballentine said.
