An old\-school RPG made to question your acceptance of mortality\. A unique RPG where instead of becoming stronger, you get weaker as you go along\. Demitri is a hero who already completed his journey\. He is already powerful, so combat is complex and strategic from the start\! But no one can live forever, and everyone’s story must come to an end\. The theme revolves around death and acceptance\. Written by a therapist, the story is made help you think about what you cannot control\. Age, death, loss\.\.\. these are all things we must accept in our lives\. For those just looking to experience the story, there are 2 distinct modes\. Key Features No grinding levels, because the hero becomes weaker Complex, strategic battles from the start and no long tutorials Turn\-based battles with the “Stance” mechanic, allowing you to strengthen the character in various ways and respond to enemy attacks\. Strong themes of acceptance and mortality with an impactful ending, even the towns are modelled after the 5 stages of grief 2 versions, one for RPG veterans and one for those who just want to experience the story •Full rpg experience with combat \(6\-10 hours\), or\.\.\. •"Adventure Mode" \(3\-5 hours\), which removes the element of combat and strategy, but leaves the story, puzzles, and exploration to enjoy\! 2 endings depending on your choices Original art by Neon Skies Studio Developer Profile: I am a therapist in Santa Ana, California\. I currently live with my wife, two cats, and one dog\. This is my first game, To Ash\. I’m a life\-long gamer, \(growing up with two brothers, we played a ton of different games\) and an RPG lover\. I worked on this by myself, but had input from testers, family, and had some original art made by Jala Prendes\. So you know where some of my influences come from, some of my favorite games are; Castlevania, Mario RPG, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Smash Bros\., ‘Tales of’ games, Zelda, and Albert Odyssey\. ## Game information - Type: game - Developer: 16 Bit Psych, Kyle B - Publisher: Self\-Publish - Release date: Mar 29, 2016 - Coming soon: false - Free to play: false - Parent Steam app: Not collected - Genres: Indie, RPG - Categories: Single\-player, Full controller support, Steam Trading Cards, Family Sharing - Platforms: windows, mac - Website: Not collected - Screenshots: https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/453950/ss\_ff73accc3407e29892969aa544fdb9e45c0adb9b\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1667011849, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/453950/ss\_8bd6b78deb65b04647bb2083f0042746e7a4cf42\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1667011849, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/453950/ss\_e78df5e27661fefd2a7b78f36dfaf0b240dadee4\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1667011849, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/453950/ss\_31f757bcd476702f9c13b01e1e98e8b01cc23f8f\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1667011849, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/453950/ss\_4d9c7b2b6a2b7960e808e0b52916a15d31492a88\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1667011849, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/453950/ss\_840eded00adbc41a0b737ffdcf8be8929a2e75c1\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1667011849, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/453950/ss\_819dc28fd0f8c0452354c6237adeeb38e2e65317\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1667011849, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/453950/ss\_bf261a367ecab415fbbd4ca13a6dd3746753f323\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1667011849, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/453950/ss\_751ea11416215c2f570d7ed3e8d2cace6cc35bb8\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1667011849, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/453950/ss\_79ab5a4964aae96f5c52dd18e591bb66ef62b78b\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1667011849, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/453950/ss\_702b68e7044e58e4c600a0331eefac68023efc01\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1667011849 - Price: 199 minor units USD; discount 0% - Price country: US ## Observed metrics - Current players: 0 - Steam review count: 33 - Steam positive reviews: 24 - Steam negative reviews: 9 - Steam positive percentage: 72.72727272727273% - Summer DB rating: No native votes Review filters: \{"language":"all","review\_type":"all","purchase\_type":"all","filter\_offtopic\_activity":0\} ## Player history [Seven-day chart data as Markdown](/api/v1/entities/adf67e03-4cc8-499c-9c38-c47029e4589f/player-metrics?days=7&format=markdown) · [JSON](/api/v1/entities/adf67e03-4cc8-499c-9c38-c47029e4589f/player-metrics?days=7) Chart values are hourly observed maxima.
