April 2026
(Not finished the game yet) I cannot say enough good things about Among Ashes. It is one of the scariest games I have ever played, and does so in an atmospheric way that doesn't rely on cheap tricks to horrify you. The "game within a game" or "gameception" element adds a unique layer of horror that seasons the base experience. If it was "just a game" for your playable character, until it wasn't... then what does that mean for you? Among Ashes captures the old-school survival horror genre in many ways - the low poly graphics, the difficult resource and enemy encounter design, and limited saves. It even captures the jank of melee combat, and has the classic "what was the developer thinking?!" segment that each of these games must have (in this case, it's a part where you can't use weapons and have to run past enemies towards a boss, but that means you can't save before the boss because the enemies are aggroed on you). The consistency in which all of these elements are represented make what could be perceived as aggravating into part of the old-school charm. As a fan of modern survival horror, very few games have given me the full body cortisol flush that Among Ashes has. The PS2 faces' capacity for displaying blank stares and ambiguous emotions fit perfectly into the feelings the game wants to evoke. Additionally, the audio design fits perfectly into the puzzle - there is spatial audio, but you're playing a game of a player playing a game, so there are moments where you have to determine if that sound you heard was in the character's game or the character's room... and sometimes, you may not want to know. Finally, the dialogue between your playable character and his friend Mark is one of the most believable text conversations I've seen represented in games. It doesn't strive too hard to push the plot forward, it's not overtly formal or awkward... it honestly looked exactly like the conversations my brother and I have about games. I found this part to really help sell the authenticity of what was occurring in-game; the player's world felt a bit more like my own because the conversations weren't normal NPC mindless blabbing. I highly recommend Among Ashes for fans of survival horror who are comfortable with an intensely packed, story focused experience that doesn't lean too hard on action/modern progression loops.

Clever, refreshing, Christmas-horror game that is as much a masterpiece as it is mid. The nostalgia worked for me, the hook worked for me, the narrative worked for me. It doesn’t overstay its welcome and dammit this game’s ambition is inspiring. Worth your time. 8/10

One of the best horror indie games I've played. The atmosphere, the story, the art style... I've fallen in love with this game! It's Christmas 2001, it's raining and you're playing video games at your Windows XP computer, while you're also chatting in MSN Messenger. Do you get the feeling now?

This game creeps me out. It doesn't matter how camp, meta and self-referential it is. It keeps me on edge at all times. I've been dying and running for my life for most of the game now. The battles are great, the puzzles are inventive and the multi-level storyline works wonderfully. This is an indie wonder.
