“The hospital was empty. Quiet, and brighter than usual... like waking up on a snow day. But I didn't feel cold. I didn't feel much of anything.”
What would you do if you woke up in the afterlife? The hospital room she knew is gone. Beyond the window lies a blank, white void that stretches endlessly. Instead of the usual aches and pains, she awakens feeling better than she has in years. Is this a dream, or…? Return to Ash is a narrative-driven visual novel focused on emotional storytelling and relationship building. Your decisions will shape Ashleigh’s journey, and determine how her story ends. Explore a mysterious afterlife, forge bonds with others trapped in this strange purgatory, and face impossible, torturous trials from a masked being who calls themself “Death”.
