First look
A year of hard choices.
Gameplay trailer · 01:42
Build shelter, ration what remains, and decide who the settlement becomes.
The work ahead
01 / SURVIVE
02 / REBUILD
03 / DECIDE
Keep more than the fires alive.
Rebuild
Raise homes from salvaged timber. Restore workshops, water lines, and fields beneath the ash.
Decide
Set rations, settle disputes, and choose who gets scarce supplies. Every answer changes the town.
The world
After the sky went dark.
A year ago, the mountain opened. Ash buried the roads, shortened the harvest, and scattered the towns of the northern valley.
You lead forty-three survivors returning to an abandoned rail settlement. Winter is six months away. The old world left tools, debts, and arguments behind. What comes next is yours to build.

Made by us
Five people. One long winter.
We’re a five-person studio working across design, code, art, audio, and writing. Ashfall began as a small prototype about keeping one stove lit and grew into the settlement game we wanted to play.
We don’t have a giant team or an endless roadmap. We do have a game we care about, a release we can support, and a Discord where we read every useful piece of feedback.
