Fifty depths beneath the burned city.

The city burned. Something below it did not. Ash Crypt is a Diablo-style action RPG that runs right here in your browser: no install, no download for the demo. Descend through the crypts under a ruined city into the underworlds of old myth, fight your way through each depth, and answer the riddles their guardians ask, typed in your own words.
