As a faceless, nameless traveler, you must fight to protect the Ashen from the brutal world.
You dont speak, but lightly nod and gesture to each other.
Combat is quite brutal in this world, sometimes laboriously so.
Each swing of your one- or two-handed weapon is a slowed, arduous maneuver that takes up stamina.
If killed in battle, your partner can revive you to continue the fight.
As a single player, your A.I.
If killed, dont fret too much; it will return… when it feels like it.
Ashenis also about building a community.

Sometimes the light prevails, sometimes the dark.
They yield a compelling story and an intriguing world to explore, even one as unforgiving asAshen.B
