About

Ash & Ledger

Features
Read full description

South Bronx, 1976. The city is on fire — and someone is getting paid. You are Arthur Weiss, a Manhattan insurance inspector sent to close claims and go home. Walk burned tenements, frozen hallways, Engine 82, and City Hall. Talk to firefighters, landlords, parish priests, and people who already moved their furniture onto the sidewalk. Build a case ledger. Decide what the report is for. ASH & LEDGER is an isometric narrative investigation inspired by the real arson years of the Bronx: insurance jobs, heat shutoffs, exhausted companies, and the politics that called it “shrinkage.” No combat. No loot. Evidence, dialogue, and the cost of signing. FEATURES • Point-and-click isometric scenes — street, kitchen, firehouse, blackout night • Branching conversations and a case ledger of what you actually found • Five days of investigation plus hubs: soup kitchen, metro, garden, postal route • Moral reports: soft language, hard paper, or something you can’t put in a file • Original documentary-noir score and illustrated 1970s Bronx art This is a story about fire as paperwork. Who writes the last line matters. Ash & Ledger contains mature historical themes: arson, death, poverty, and institutional neglect. No graphic violence.
