This indie dev made a horror game where you must climb down thousands of metres into a dark hole while a giant centipede hunts you. - Only a grappling hook - Must reach the bottom - One wrong swing and it’s over It's called Idols of Ash. Would you... play this?show more

guys, this was honestly one of the most TENSE horror experiences i've ever had lol. it's currently free right now: - you can follow the dev here @LeafyGames & big shoutout to @gameralphabeta - wouldn't have known about this game not for them!!

@gameralphabeta quick note, even though the game is free right now, i still donated to the dev because the experience was genuinely that good. such a simple idea but very well executed! if you play it and enjoy it, i hope some of you also consider supporting too :)

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

🤣

I don't like horror game. I don't like centipede. I hate both of them. But this game has something real, awesome things.

you need to play it you will have a very fun time, the centipede just wants to say hello that's all i promise

So, it's kind of a reverse White Knuckle? Interesting.

yes, highly recommend giving it a try!

nice, gives me chills

dude, sometimes when the centipede got too close, i would freak out and purposefully just want to fall, it's so creepy haha

ahah i bet! Super cool!

is trash

Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope. I have entomophobia. DEFINITELY NOPE.

lol you gotta play and live stream it 🤣

Im not about to give myself a heart attack

I've been having fun finding skips in this, it has a lot of skill expression. Credit to @Brokencocont for finding the first skip in the video. This game is so good I hope they continue adding new maps.

@DontPlayPT Absolutely! Looks fun!

@DontPlayPT very fun, but VERY tense lol

Reminds me of Made in Abyss

not heard of that, will check it out. on steam?

Made in Abyss is an anime, phenomenal story telling. Basically there's a big hole that goes does for miles, you can go down fine but if you go back up you get worse and worse effects the deeper you are. Shallow levels you just get nausea and 🤮, deeper you get worse.

Yo! Why ??? Well ... at least it's not a cockroach.

😅it's such a good game though! the grappling mechanics are really solid, and the skill ceiling is really high once you get used to how to use it well

Yeah. I'll get used to it once I play it for some time. It's just that some insects creeps me out. The smaller they are, the worse.

the worst part is the sound of the centipede... those legs lol - you hear it getting closerrr and closerrr so creepy

Saw this post and gave it a try. Absolutely loving it so far! Some real love and effort put into this, highly recommend if you want something to keep you on edge!

awesome stuff! glad you tried it! :D

Also, runs perfectly on steam deck for anyone who owns one!

Someone show this to @markiplier lol

idk why but i played yesterday for hours, and havent seem the centipede following me yet. good game though

weird... did you even hear it? tried just waiting for it lol?

I genuinely played it as soon as I saw it on my TL, it was both extremely fun and pretty terrifying at the same time (especially when the centipede is close) I wish it was longer, though, or if it had more endings and all

Guessing you cant turn fall damage off? 🤣

absolutely not 😅

This game is a dream for speedruners

That’s messed up! Hence I want to try it

@JoyfullyGambler minha aracnofobia aí

That centipede enemy is nightmare fuel. The sound design makes it even creepier. Such an interesting enemy choice.

Played it and finished it a few hours ago, very short but very scary, made me shit my pants a few times

Yo this game is intense fr

….think I might play it tonight

I played it, and I loved it. Spoilers for the story, because it's surprisingly emotional and unexpected for this kind of game: It's about a lesbian woman going down to some form of hell to see the memory of her dead wife for the last time. It's amazingly sweet and the ending..

i already did and it genuinely scratches an itch no other horror game has scratched

I love that this is literally inverted White Knuckle

Played it. Beat it in like… under 30 minutes. It’s really fun and scary. I only beat it so fast cause I kept panicking and just falling really fast

"We have White Knuckle at home." White Knuckle at home: (Not a bad thing by the way, I love White Knuckle)

Yup I would.

I would love to play it
