PAVED IN ASHES—DEMO UPDATE

Prologue & Chapter 1 — Wordcount: > 145k

DEMO LINK [CoG Demos]

----------------------------------------------------

WHAT IS PAVED IN ASHES ABOUT?

You're only 20 when suddenly your life goes bam! Throwing you into a whole new city, a different country even. Wasn't part of the plan, but you know how life loves to mess with plans. People happened, stuff happened, and suddenly you're on the move. The new chapter ahead? Buckle up, 'cause it's not gonna be all sunshine and rainbows. And guess what? Your step-mom? Yeah, she's right there in the same city. She's always had this knack for trying to steer your ship, like every decision's a GPS checkpoint. But hey, there's this one thing that's never let you down—your skateboard. It's like the buddy that's been with you through thick and thin, the one that never bails. Among all this craziness it's like your anchor. So, the big question is—can you break out of the loop you got in? Find your place in the world and restart or lose yourself in temptation? Time to find out.

----------------------------------------------------

Below you find a little insight on the contents of the update - beware of potential spoilers!

----------------------------------------------------

What's going on in Chapter 1?

First full day...and night in Hamburg, Germany.

Have breakfast with your stepmother...if you feel like it.

Go shopping & check out the local skate shop.

Take a lunch break, enjoy some tasty food and make a call?

Visit the "Hafengeburtstag" or go home early...

What else do you need to know?

You'll be able to meet up to 6 strangers, depending on your choices.

Use your time wisely, because you can't meet nor see everything on the way.

Thought about what my MC Melody would have as a background picture for her phone when there where still together.

Changed it like 3 times because i have such a hard time drawing man. XD

"It took time to root out slavery in the Western world, but Christian teaching and practice paved the way for arguing that as part of the body of Christ, slaves should be freed. By the eleventh century, slavery in Christendom had effectively ended."

Paving Our Way Snapshot #4

Ash is with Brock and Misty on a call with his mom

"... and if I don't get a chance to call you, have a happy birthday, Ash!"

Brock and Misty go quiet

Ash says goodbye to Delia and hangs up

"Ash."

"Hm?"

"Is it your birthday today?"

"Uh, it's tomorrow. Why?"

Misty pinches the bridge of her nose

"How is it we've been friends for 8 years and we've never known when your birthday is"

"Oh. I guess I never thought it was that big a deal"

They look at him dumbfounded

"... If you'll excuse us" and they leave

Ash is confused

Next day

Ash is thrown enough party to make up for the 7 missed birthdays. Everyone is there

1. ULTIMATE UPDATE of 2025

Hello everybody,

as you might have noticed, updates and posts have been scarce in the last weeks / months. This is due to some huge changes and events in my private life.

Like I mentioned in some minor updates before, I didn't have much time nor possibilities to write on my IF(s). But this changed now. I have more than enough time now...

And I cannot wait to use this to make my comeback and return with more and better content than before.

You wanna know what this includes? Let me give you a lil insight.

------------

The Demo of PiA will still—as far as I can guess at this point—be updated this month. The exact date will be announced soon. It's a huge one (imo), consisting of overall ca. 150k words (Prologue & Chapter 1)—hooray! > Current status 19.03.25: Finished Editing, Now: Coding & Playtesting

I will finish up the Socials, Profiles and more here on Tumblr in the next weeks & months—after the demo update.

I will sacrifice my sanity and mental health and present my game on the infamous CoG Forum—cause yolo.

The Character Art will be continued and posted on PiA's discord—rawwwwwrrrr.

A Masterplan and Q&A for an upcoming Patreon will follow in the weeks after the Demo Drop—woot woot?

I hope y'all are as excited as I am. Can't wait to deep dive into my writing again and super excited to have y'all around.

Have a lovely day

Sai

My MC for the fantastic paved in ashes IF

I loved the game so much I had to draw my MC. I'm a little rusty but I like it xD the game is so great and I love my insecure gremlin!

Its the first IF game I see that plays in Germany, wich is my home country so I'm extra happy to play it.

And my younger self always wanted to be a scatergirl but I was always to scared to do it.

@pavedinashes-if

Hope it's okay to tag you. Really really love your writing! <3

Paving Our Way Snapshot #1

Ash and Iris are exploring Paldea together

Trying to find Grusha's gym

Look at the map

Look up at Glaseado Mountain

Covered in snow

"..."

"Are you gonna be okay? I know you have a hard time with the cold..."

"I'll... I'll be fine. I can tough it out for awhile."

Narrator voice: it was not fine

Iris is shivering violently despite extra layers

Traveling too slowly, night falls before making it to the top

They make camp

About to go to bed

"Can we s-s-s-share a sleep-p-ping bag? I'm f-f-f-freezing..."

Ash agrees, he's cold too

Huddle in next to each other

They start Feeling Things™

Forced to confront what they've been feeling for years:

"I love him."/"I love her."
