Summary
Before The Ash is a free, browser-based city building game created by Aviv Levy for the Godot Wild Jam 79, with the theme of “growing”
Players are tasked with rebuilding the city of Pompeii knowing it will eventually be destroyed by Mount Vesuvius
The game is strategy-based, with players spending resources and faith to build and improve the city, whilst also extinguishing fires started by the volcano that players can then use to remove buildings they no longer want
Players must plan and build wisely in order to attain the highest score possible before Mount Vesuvius ultimately destroys the city, which adds an element of replayability to the game as well.
Rock Paper Shotgun suggests that players might enjoy Laysara: Summit Kingdom for a similar city-building experience with a different “antisocial” mountain theme.
