About Echoes of Ashford

Echoes of Ashford is a dark mystery visual novel made by Inkbound in HTML with animated presentation. You play a male guest arriving at Ashford Manor in England after Lord Ashford is reported dead, though some doubt that claim. The house holds nine residents, a forged will, a conspiracy, and many secrets. Your decisions guide the investigation, build relationships, and reveal the truth. It combines skill progression, daily tasks, and multiple endings, with optional adult scenes that unlock through gameplay.

The current build is v1.3, released on September 29, 2026, and development is ongoing. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac in English, with no censorship. The update redesigned the interface with new fonts, animations, and a darker atmosphere, split the sidebar into Status and People tabs, and added relationship tiers from stranger to intimate. It also introduced a chapter system, random morning events, Chapter II activities, new locations including a rose garden, a study for Lord Ashford, and a pub known as The White Hart. It also added scenes involving Eleanor, Harlow, Celeste, and Lily, plus premium access to a private rose garden.
