Fend off Waves of Enemies in Ash & Adam’s Existential Treads
Indie developer Ash & Adam’s Games has officially launched their latest title, Ash & Adam’s Existential Treads, on Steam. The game is available for $6.99, with a limited-time 30% launch discount. This makes it an accessible entry for players interested in experimental indie experiences.
Ash & Adam’s Existential Treads blends city-building mechanics with retro-style vehicle combat, set in a strange post-post-apocalyptic world. The goal of the players is to grow a fragile settlement from the remnants of a fallen civilization. Along the way, they scavenge ruined landscapes, gather resources, and rescue scattered survivors who help rebuild what was lost.
The gameplay leans heavily on strategy and adaptability. Players must carefully construct and position buildings to improve their chances of survival and prepare defenses against relentless waves of enemies. These threats stem from rogue AI forces that once contributed to the collapse of the old world, creating constant pressure as settlements expand.
One of the standout features of the game is its procedural design. Each run features randomized levels and build orders, ensuring that no two playthroughs unfold the same way. Alongside defending their people, players also work toward restoring nature across desolate islands, slowly bringing life back to a broken environment.
As a small-scale project by two independent creators, the game reflects a focused, creative approach to blending genres. With its affordable price and replay-driven structure, it offers a compact yet engaging experience for players looking for something different in the indie space.
