Ashwalkers, released in April 2021, is a narrative survival sim centered around a squad of four: Petra the Leader, Sinh the Muscle, Kali the Scholar, and Nadir the Scout, as they try to find their way to the Dome of Domes, a refuge from the ash ridden world they live in.


  • Combat, Diplomacy, Stealth: Covered by Sinh, Kali, and Nadir, respectively. Petra, as the fourth, represents strategy as an ideology.
  • Does Not Know His Own Strength: In an early choice, if Sinh is chosen as your champion in a friendly duel, he would outright murder his opponent, prompting the ire of his tribe.
  • Dwindling Party: It's quite possible for any party member to meet their untimely demise.
  • Four-Philosophy Ensemble: Each of member of the squad has a different approach to various situations.
    • Petra, the leader of the group is the realist who favors using logic and bargaining. On the subject of outsiders, she considers them as nothing more than people who are trying to survive.
    • Sinh is the cynic that favors the more physical approach and is the least trusting of the four members.
    • Kali is the optimist, who trusts people, and favors diplomacy.
    • Nadir is the apathetic, who's more concerned with keeping his squad mates alive and favors staying away from situations altogether.
  • Hidden Depths: Sinh is good with a needle and thread. If he didn't grow up to be so big, he muses he could've been a cobbler.
  • Resources Management Gameplay: The survival gameplay revolves around finding food, kindling and medicine to fill up the Squad's respective meters. They are bound to perish if their needs aren't met.
