Ashwake

Ashwake is a hardcore survival game set in The Abyss, a zone left broken after an accident and the first Ash Storm. You play as a scavenger searching its locations for supplies and a way to survive. The land holds anomalies, rival factions and mutated beasts, and you must survive it to free yourself and those you care for from a disaster brought on by humanity.

Explore The Abyss

Search loot containers for gear to sell, craft or use. Some items are required to progress, making exploration essential. The world is divided into multiple locations, each with its own purpose, and you travel between them to advance. Roadblocks restrict access until you reach certain levels; as you progress, they are removed to open new areas, loot and quests.

Locations connect through timed transition zones, where you must fend off enemies to survive. Extract zones take you back to your base, where you can store loot, trade with vendors and accept or complete tasks to level up.

Anomalies and creatures

Anomalies appeared when the land became unstable after the first Ash Storm. Their dangers range from a minor shock to being torn apart, so avoiding them is safest. They can also create artifacts, which you can sell or use to prepare for risky situations. Hostile NPCs and mutated beasts also threaten your survival.

Factions

You can choose from several factions, each with its own base, clothing and side quests:

• Bandits: rival scavengers fighting for survival.
• The Remains: rival scavengers fighting for survival.
• The Plague Walkers: infected survivors trying to fight off full mutation.

Progression and equipment

Complete tasks and survive raids to gain levels and unlock weapon attachments, vendors and locations. You can design your base, buy furniture from vendors and place loot items freely. Crafting benches can be placed around the base, and some require power from the generator. Equipment provides a secondary progression system, becoming more useful over time.

The game features realistic weapon mechanics, in-depth survival systems and tactical weapon handling, as well as a questline and extraction systems for safeguarding your gear. It also includes a permadeath mode.
