ASHVEIL

You are Rue, the last apprentice of a dying order, pushing back a silence called the Hollowing that turns sound, color and memory into grey static.

A 3D action-RPG vertical slice: three zones and a boss arena - Emberwatch, the Hush Wood, Ashfall Reach, and the Choir of Ash.

• Combat - stamina-gated dodge and parry, enemy telegraphs, four enemy types, an elite, and a three-phase boss that destabilizes as you break it.
• The Hush - a per-zone desaturation and fog you push back in real time by raising your lantern. The core feel of the game.
• Seven hand-authored quests with a real arc: a betrayal-of-grief plot, a companion who trades a memory to give you back your voice, and a choice-driven ending.
• Diegetic progression - spend memory-shards at lanterns to remember more of yourself.
