Indie developer Rat Cliff Games has revealed a release window and a PS5 port for Among Ashes, their retro yet metafictional horror game.

Among Ashes is now set to launch sometime in December of this year for PC (via Steam), news confirmed alongside a simultaneous PlayStation 5 port for the game.

The metafictional horror game currently has a playable demo up on its Steam page, and gamers can wishlist the game on the PlayStation Store as well. In case you missed it – check out our preview for the game!

Here’s a rundown on the game, plus a new trailer:

Among Ashes is a metafictional horror title about a haunted video game and the disturbing story behind its creation. It’s a stormy night in the early 2000s and your friend has sent you a link to Night Call, a horror game that he found online. As you play, strange things start happening in your apartment. Something is terribly wrong with the game.

Among Ashes features an innovative, meta-framing device in which players will experience a full retro-inspired first-person survival horror game within another first-person horror game, in addition to a host of unique presentational touches, surprises, mechanics and puzzles that transport players back to the turn of the millennium –  providing a terrifying dose of nostalgia in the process.

In the retro-styled survival-horror Night Call, players will explore Stoker manor; solving puzzles and fighting off the nightmarish creatures that have infested its labyrinthian halls. In the real world, however, they’ll be haunted by the dark entities that have latched on to this strange game, as they frantically try to unravel the mystery behind the game and its enigmatic creator.
