Your licence

You are granted a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use Ashbound for your own private, non-commercial entertainment.

Ember Dust and vestiges

Ember Dust, vestiges, and any other in-game items are earned through play only.

Intellectual property

Ashbound and all of its art, writing, audio, and code belong to the developer. This licence lets you play the game; it does not transfer any ownership to you.

Disclaimer and liability

Ashbound is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the developer is not liable for any damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the game.

Suitable for all ages

Ashbound is a gentle, family-friendly puzzle game with no objectionable content, made for a general audience.
