About the game
The ash forgets nothing.
Since the oldest chronicles, ash has fallen over Veyr — on roofs, on roads, on the names of the dead. The embers beneath keep glowing, patient and awake. You come through the gates of Emberwake a stranger they call Wanderer, and you do not remember why.The Ash Remembers is an idle dark fantasy RPG that keeps running while you do something else — offline, in the background, overnight. Nothing is handed to you. Buy once, play everything: no microtransactions, no energy bars, no waiting time you could pay away.
Six heroes, each with light and shadow
Kaelen, Dorn, Veyl, Sera, Nyx and Liraël — each brings their own strength and pays for it with their own weakness. Seven garments per hero: six earned by level, the seventh only after your third Ashfall. Earned, never bought.21 skills, each to level 100
Mining, Woodcutting, Fishing, Smithing, Cooking, Firemaking, Fletching, Cultivating, Crafting, Thieving, Hunting, Alchemy, Lapidary, Cremating, Emberhunt, Enchanting — plus Melee, Ranged, Summoning, Hitpoints and Defence. Master a skill to 100 and you carry its title on your badge.A world that hits back
- 85 enemies, each with its own loot table and its own weakness. Kill one often enough and its entire loot lies open — weakness included.
- 5 dungeons, 25 bosses across three tiers — normal, heroic, mystic. Every boss with its own story and its own best time; the Mystic Depth opens after your first Ashfall.
- 7 world bosses that grow harder with every rebirth. The last — Ur'Vahel, the First Call — only shows himself once all fourteen before him have fallen.
- 8 titans across five tiers, four of them rotating week by week. The fifth tier is the hardest fight in the game — and it is meant to be.
- Over 730 items with affixes, sockets and tempering — from the Rat Mother's Crown to the Unmade Core Shard.
- 42 uniques: one one-of-a-kind piece per enemy, each with its own story — extremely rare, yet guaranteed after 2,000 hunts of the same foe. And 73 named legendaries carry the Mark, a fixed power drawn from their own lore.
- The boss forge: from the material a fallen titan or world boss leaves behind, you forge its piece yourself — ten recipes, the certain path to the strongest weapons in the game when luck will not hand you the drop.
- 29 companions you feed and raise, each with its own bonus.
- Emberhome: your own homestead across six build stages, paid for with what you felled and smelted yourself.
- 42 daily contracts, up to three a day — and only ever from enemies you can actually reach.
- Three houses you can swear yourself to, 6 ash seals to assemble, 5 relics that rise into legendary weapons.
- 98 ash cards, 100 letters, 12 messages in bottles — the world tells its own story if you listen. Many cards come with their own narrator's voice.
- 58 achievements (plus 12 hidden ones for the relentless), a collection log, a museum, and a bestiary that records every enemy you have studied.
- A living world: monster ecology, a 30-day moon cycle with blood moon, night wanderings, and a night watch that keeps fighting while you sleep.
Three ways to play
Standard — the regular path. Death costs gold, nothing else.Ashen Path — one life. Die, and the run ends and you move into the Hall of Embers. The only rescue is the Ash Phylactery, craftable from Crafting 60.
Hermit — no market, no traveller, no buying. Every ore, every blade, every potion: made by your own hand.
It tells you what you are dying of
Fall three times to the same enemy and the game names the reason using your real numbers — how much provisions are left, how many armour pieces you wear — and offers you the next weaker enemy with one click. The strong enemies stay just as deadly. You simply stop guessing.Rebirth
When the climb comes full circle, burn it all and start again — with ember ash that stays and an ember tree that grows across runs. Achievements, companions, titles and your Emberhome survive every ashfall — and the chronicle keeps a record of every run you finish.Community: questions, bugs and findings →
