In the Morning Turns to Ash (2018)
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
This is a remake of my first Unity project from 2016.
In the Morning Turns to Ash is a first-person narrative game poem about a man who tries to come to grips with his father's recent death by returning to the wilderness retreat where they used to camp together.
The game takes 20-25 minutes to complete and is designed to be played in one sitting.
It's a game about fathers and sons, parents and children, regrets and love.

When you're the sort of person, having traveled halfway through the game, who turns back just to make sure the fire is out. XD
Thanks for playing!
A beautiful narrative journey of self-healing and self-discovery, done with a soothing voice that feels alive. Graphically an astounding piece of art as well. Only fools would miss out on this. It is profound.
That is my review and I gave you five starts. Anything less would be criminal.
Thanks!
Beautiful scenery and great voice acting, only thing that slightly annoys me is the head boobing. I get the effect it can have, and it's nice in the start but it kinda makes me feel sick after a while, just wish there was an option to turn it off in the settings.
A very, very detailed THANKS!
A very nice game with super graphics and great sound. The voice acting is superb and tells a really good story. Another fantastic game John. Keep em coming... :)
Thanks, Kevx. I appreciate all the small games you give exposure to through your videos. There are so many games on here that it's nice to visit your channel to see a sampling.
Very nicely put together. An easy going adventure with a great tale. Weel done.
