Plot Twist founder Cléa Frost said the following:

“During Melbourne’s pandemic lockdowns, when most film and TV production was shut down, I started experimenting with interactive storytelling, a new obsession.

Gathering a small team of talented, passionate collaborators, we tested mechanics and techniques before I landed on the concept and format of Ashes.

Interactive fiction holds such opportunity to expand what we consider to be a game, as well as to explore stories, characters and worlds that we don’t usually get to see. 

Nothing I’ve done creatively has brought me more joy than Ashes, and I can’t wait for people to play it.”

One can wishlist Ashes via its official Steam page.
