About this game
The Waking Ashes throws you into zero-G combat across a world shattered by its own designer, Temple, an ancient mind constructed by a long lost community of cosmic beings. You are but one of its unwilling creations, dragged back from the depths out of an obsessive mystical necessity.
Claw your way through ruined landscapes and twisted creatures, chasing scraps of freedom in a place where stone, magic and spirit have fused into unholy drones of Temple's will.
Build your own fighting style from an upgradable arsenal of deadly weapons, strange powers and abilities. Blink through space, slow the flow of time, or unleash devastating tactical strikes. When the physical world grows too predictable, breach the boundary into the Deep Array, a warped pocket dimension where Temple’s true form resides.
