Critic Reviews2
Inner Ashes is a game that tries very hard to deliver facts about a terrible real world disease mixed with an emotional story in a videogame and it misses the mark for me. As a walking simulator at it’s core the gameplay is expected to be a little slow, however they can hold their own ground when they come with great stories. Unfortunately Inner Ashes is mediocre for me. I appreciate all of the interesting facts I learned about Alzheimer’s Disease because of this game but the mechanism they used, a videogame, doesn’t quite align with this presentation as something interesting enough to hold my attention.

You have to send credit the way of the development team for tackling a subject like this, dealing with it in a compassionate and heartfelt way. There's no doubt that the story of Inner Ashes is very good, with a great representation of the struggles involved in coping with Alzheimer's. But the pacing can feel too slow at times and if I am being picky there are a few too many Tetris-styled puzzles.
