In an effort to push the Kickstarter campaign further, Comcept just released a mock-up build of RED ASH, playable on PC or in your browser.

You can download the PC version here, or play it in a browser here (it works only with Firefox, apparently).

Here are a few disclaimers:

• This mock-up is for you to experience the "feel" of Red Ash. There are Mighty No.9 characters as NPCs, but that is only temporary. The completed game will feature the characters from the world of Red Ash. I guess you could consider this a digital collector's item?!
• Red Ash is a TPS-style action adventure game, in which players are able to shoot and take down enemies. But those elements are not included in this mock-up.
• A large part of enjoyment to Red Ash is interacting with the townsfolk and exploring the world freely. The mock-up shows more of the whimsical and playful side of exploration that take places in Red Ash.

And below you can find instructions on how to install and play.

You can play as both Call and Beck's Mighty No.9 placeholders or as the RED ASH model of Beck (he's hidden in  secret room). Just go talk with one you aren't using to switch. If you want to have fun with physics, try kicking the trash can repeatedly.

You can also kick around Dr. Sanda's model, and there's an unique red can that will let you trigger a special effect.

The prototype is very limited, but it has a few secrets here and there. At least we get a chance to check out Mighty No.9's models before the game's release. You can check out some screenshots below.
