What is Ashen Veil?
Ashen Veil: Protocol is a free, browser-based, text-driven survival RPG set in 2045, fifteen years after a Reptilian invasion buried the world under a toxic Silica Mist. You are Operator “MC”, woken in a pre-war shelter beneath Katowice, Poland, with one job: build a base, gather survivors and light the first spark of human resistance. The game takes place on a real map of the Silesia region, and you move across it one part of the day at a time.
What makes it different?
- Depth over speed. Fifteen talent trees, twelve equipment slots, six rarities and a turn-based combat system with range zones, cover and formations.
- A world that pushes back. Weather changes every day. A Rad-Storm brings a boss that hunts you; a High Heat noon punishes the thirsty.
- A living base. Survivors, mercenaries and buildings all matter, and the base is attacked by raiders.
- Real places. Giszowiec, Silesian Park, Tychy, the Rawa River and the Slaughterhouse in Szopienice are all where they are in reality.
Who makes it?
Ashen Veil is developed by Nakman Studios, a small independent studio. The game is updated regularly, and each update is announced in the in-game Wasteland Gazette and on the news page. The item database, talent trees and news on this website are generated from the game itself, so they are always up to date.
How is it funded?
The game is free. It is supported by optional VIP upgrades and by advertising on this website. Ads never appear inside the game.
