«Ash and Velvet» — полностью озвученная визуальная новелла в жанре мрачного фэнтези для взрослых, рассказывающая о медленном и обдуманном падении гордой тёмной эльфийки. Серит прибывает ко двору людей холодной, дисциплинированной и уверенной в собственном превосходстве — её послал род, чтобы натравить людей и гномов друг на друга. Но двор не встречает её на чистой политической почве. Он наблюдает за ней. Оценивает её. Выясняет, что именно её гордость позволит ей вытерпеть.
Каждая услуга, в которой она нуждается, обходится ей частью достоинства. Каждая уступка показывает окружающим мужчинам, что она готова терпеть дальше. Она убеждает себя, что именно она манипулирует ими. Но при дворе знают лучше.
