Idols of Ash

Idols of Ash presents a terrifying first-person horror survival experience that places players in underground locations where they must survive using only their grappling hook and their inner strength. The player faces escalating threats through each downward progression, which leads to narrower pathways and the emergence of hidden dangers that exist in complete darkness.

Do you possess the strength to continue, or will the abyss take your life?

A Descent You Can’t Escape

You start your journey at the summit of an enormous, deteriorating building that extends downward for thousands of meters. There’s no turning back—only down. The player needs to operate through tight tunnels, which include both horizontal and vertical movement sections.

• Uses their grapple to swing across hazardous spaces.
  
• Respond to sudden changes in the landscape, which include both erupting grounds and vanishing routes.
  
• Stay away from terrifying creatures known as murderpedes. 
• Travel deeper into the earth. The pressure builds. 
• The darkness thickens. The creatures approach your location.
  

Face the Horror

The fall represents more than a drop - it transforms into a battle for existence.

• Involves facing enormous shadow-dwelling centipede creatures, which hide in the dark.
  
• Stay vigilant in narrow hallways where they have little chance of escaping. 
• Keep moving because stopping will result in losing everything they possess.
  

The game Idols of Ash uses fear as a permanent force that stays with players during their entire gameplay experience.
