Ashes of Oahu is an open world, post-apocalyptic RPG shooter where you tap into the power of the spirit world to liberate the Hawaiian island of Oahu from the army that occupies it.

Built using the Unreal 4 Engine,  Nightmarchers combines innovative action with faction-based gameplay, inviting players to discover the secrets of Hawaii’s mystical past while uncovering and exploring a full-scale authentic representation of 500 square miles of game world terrain – from discovering special powers and abilities of the Hawaiian gods, to choosing skills and weapons, and remaking the island in their own way, all while watching out for the powerful Nightmarchers who protect the island.

Nightmarchers will debut on the new gaming destination platform, BrightLocker, which offers exclusive beta access, in-game content and developer interaction. In the game, players must fight for survival and learn to tap into the power of the spirit world to become a demigod and help liberate Oahu from the army that has taken its control.


“At Wyrmbyte, we want to deliver quality games that present a fun and adrenaline-charged experience while honoring different religions and lore from around the world,” said Scott Brown, President, Wyrmbyte. “Nightmarchers  is our first stepin this direction so it was important to us that we accurately represent and honor the Hawaiian culture and its legendary landmarks and stories.”
