Ashen Road

They came at dusk, when the moon hung low and red. By dawn the caravan was ash, and Tarn's kin were gone east along the Ashen Road.

Ashen Road is a side-scrolling sword fight across a dying bronze-age frontier. Follow the captives one link of the chain at a time: through raider camps and ruined watchtowers, a drowned river town, a salt market where people are weighed like grain, burning grassland, a forest of bone and a mountain pass, to the oldest ruin under the moon, and home again.

BUILT FOR ONE THUMB AND A GLANCE
You move and choose the target; Tarn swings the sword. Drag anywhere to move, tap an enemy to go after it, flick to dodge, and hold still to wind up a spinning heavy strike. Nothing to memorise, and every fight rewards reading the enemy rather than tapping faster.

A STORY TOLD BETWEEN BLOWS
An old storyteller's voice narrates as you go, in short lines that never stop the fight. Nine chapters, each with its own place, its own enemies and its own task: light the signal fires, break the slave cages, topple the pyres.
