Ashcroft is a high-intensity Platform Fighter in which you have one hour to fight your way out of a zombie infested city. Are you a bad enough dude to save your friends and get out alive? How many zombies can you punch before they eat you alive?

The story mode takes place in the Zombie Infested City of Ashcroft. You have one hour to escape the city limits before a bomb drops, destroying the city and everything in it - you included. Encounter different story beats depending on the path you take through the city, and how long you take, eventually culminating in a variety of different potential endings.

Challenge your friends (or enemies) to an intense 1v1 versus mode - but be careful! Each attack has it's own noise rating, and if your too loud, Zombies might join the battle!

Or you and your friend can play against a series of increasingly hard opponents and platforming challenges in the Arcade mode!

There was something rotten in that old hospital. You were just following your instincts that night. But, it was your pride that killed those people, including your partner on the force. With nothing to exonerate you, on a temporary insanity defense, they threw the book at you.

For ten years, you were haunted by unanswered questions, frightened by what you saw, and what you did. Now you’re scraping by as a private eye, operating out of a crummy apartment. One day, a strange case comes along, giving you an opportunity to clear your name once and for all. With your sanity at stake and rent to pay, how can you refuse?

Solve a wide variety of mysteries as Pinnacle City's cheapest Private Eye! From missing pets to murder investigations, your detective skills will either earn you fortune or face punches.

Home to a wretched hive of scum and villainy, Pinnacle City is littered with black market trade, grafters, and players of all kinds. From the shadowy alleys of The Sprawl to the sleek skyscrapers of Uptown, each district holds its own charm and mysteries to uncover!

Each member of your entourage has their own distinctive personality and skill set. Some will follow you into battle. Others will try and undermine you. Who will you choose for your lineup and will they be with you until the bitter end?

Bad guys can jump out at you from anywhere and each gang in Pinnacle City has its own devastating attacks! But you can beat 'em back in turn-based combat using timed hits and blocks to increase or reduce damage. You can also partner with your entourage members to unleash devastating combo attacks!

Manuscripts teach entourage members a wide variety of skills. Learned skills can then be upgraded by skill points you get from solving major cases. With each upgrade, skills become more powerful, and your entourage can take on even more powerful enemies.

Tune up your gear with modifications to fit your play style. Experiment with different mods and ammo types to deal varying types of damage and inflict status effects on enemies. Whether you prefer a technical approach or go in guns blazing, modifying your gear is key as you battle your way through the city.
