About Cradle of Ash: Survival horror in a quarantined company town. You wake alone at the edge of Ashbrook, where the dead get back up from anything you do to them — unless what is left of them burns. Ration the fuel. Do not leave a corpse whole. And when the noise gets closer, do not go toward it.
