An original role-playing game, in which you traverse a grim, sunless world, where the only source of light are the erupting volcanoes, spitting out ash. The production features a nonlinear plot and an open world, both of which can be shaped freely by your actions. Thanks to a passive multiplayer system, each NPC is based on a character created by another player and has their own distinct characteristics and aspirations.

Ashen is an open-world nonlinear action role-playing game. It was developed by an indie Aurora44 studio from New Zealand founded by experienced members of film-making teams. The founders met while working on such movies as The Hobbit, The Avengers, Iron Man 2, Prometheus and The Planet of the Apes.

Plot

The game is set in a grim, sunless world, where the only source of light are the erupting volcanoes, incessantly spitting out ash. Ashen tells the story of a young wanderer, who traverses this gray world to find a place they could call home. Since all items are sooner or later destroyed by volcanic eruptions, the game focuses on interpersonal relationships with other survivors, represented by other players.
