Life is Strange co-creator and DONTNOD co-founder Hervé Bonin’s new studio Nameless XIII and publisher Dear Villagers (ScourgeBringer, The Forgotten City) announced that Ashwalkers will release on April 15 via Steam.
In Ashwalkers, four adventurers journey through a harsh world, making difficult decisions that dramatically affect the course of the story. Players have to manage the party’s food and equipment and find their way through a dynamic narrative with 34 possible endings.
200 years after a geological disaster, a group of survivors called The Squad set out into a ravaged world.

Get to know four fascinating characters and the shifting dynamics between them as you travel to the end of the world.
