Ashes Beyond — Web Edition

A complete, self-contained first-person browser horror game built with React 19, Vite 8, Three.js, CSS, and the Web Audio API. It is packaged as a static Wasmer Edge app.

Play locally

Requirements: Node.js 22+ and npm.

npm install
npm run dev

Open the URL Vite prints, choose a difficulty, and click Enter the House. For the production build:

npm run build
npm run preview

Controls

  • W A S D — move
  • Mouse — look
  • Shift — sprint
  • C or Ctrl — crouch quietly
  • E — interact, read, take, unlock
  • Left click — attempt a knife backstab (only works from behind)
  • Esc — pause and release the mouse

The game is designed for a desktop browser and headphones.

Objective and endings

Restore the downstairs fuse box, locate the blue-moon lens upstairs, align the moon dial, recover the main-door key from Arvind's casket, and escape. Collect all four victim echoes and burn the grimoire before leaving for the true ending. Running out of days produces the sacrifice ending.

Difficulty controls Vrinca's speed and sight range and how many days remain. Every mode except Blue Moon can earn one bonus day by releasing all four victim echoes.

Architecture

  • src/game/world.js — two-floor house, locks, items, notes, puzzles, patrol points
  • src/game/logic.js — collision, line-of-sight, BFS pathfinding, interaction selection
  • src/game/AshesEngine.js — Three.js renderer, first-person controller, Vrinca AI, game loop
  • src/game/audio.js — procedural eerie music, wind, heartbeat, and effects
  • src/game/story.js — story, difficulties, objectives, and endings
  • src/game/GameView.jsx — HUD, pause flow, narrative cards, ending screens

All visuals and audio are generated at runtime. No third-party art, music, models, or texture files are required.
