I can be a roguelike hater, but I slammed the Steam wishlist button on this one after my sicko coworker showed me its Hades upgrades and dark dollhouse world
The Ashen OZ, a dark fantasy action roguelite from Ashbone Games, has garnered significant interest for its unique blend of Hades-like upgrade systems and a dark dollhouse aesthetic reminiscent of American McGee's Grimm. The game features a ball-jointed doll protagonist battling monsters with a witch's umbrella and utilizes a dice-based upgrade system. While still in early development with no release date, its style and themes are tapping into a contemporary fascination with retro-looking horror and fairytale interpretations.
