What it is about
Under Ashen Skies is a horror single-player RPG, with a focus on combat, survival and exploration, and heavily inspired by Hellraiser, Silent Hill, the Orphic mysteries, and the works of Junji Ito. From the safety of your apartment, you will venture out to explore the broken town of Riverside, in search of answers, gear and resources. With a system of randomized loot you will never find the same piece of gear twice! But make sure you maintain it or else it will break down and you’ll be unable to use it. You will scavenge and salvage all you need, from tools and crafting resources to medical supplies. Finding good gear is crucial in order to fight the relentless cold and the hordes of strange Phonoi or the terrible Makhe that seem to rule over them. But don’t lose track of time! For wasting it will surely condemn you to the horrors of the Devouring, the wave of pure madness that sometimes takes over Riverside, transforming it into a mirror of hell.
