The Ashen Night has begun – until October 31
The ash forgets nothing.
A dark idle RPG in the ash of Veyr. It keeps running while you are away — and it hands you nothing.
Play the trailer New: Update 1.7.1 – The Ash Demands
Out since 07 · 09 · 2026 $11.99
The ember is lit — out now on Steam.
Ash has fallen over Veyr for as long as the oldest chronicles reach. It settles on rooftops, on streets, on the names of the dead — and it forgets nothing. Through the city gates you arrive: a stranger they call the Wanderer. You don't remember why you came. The city saw you coming long before you found its gates.
The Ash Remembers keeps running while you do something else: offline, in the background, overnight. But standing against the strongest foes takes better gear and a stocked pantry. The best thing you will ever wear is not bought — you forge it yourself, from what you wrested out of the ash.
The prologue, the eleven world bosses, the eleven titans: their stories aren't just written down — a narrator reads them to you, in English and German, while the music steps back. Add a chronicle in 13 chapters and voices from the alleys that change with the hour and the calendar.
The Ash Demands. Every run now gets demands of the Ash: three to five deeds you can reach yourself. Each one you meet writes an entry into the Ash Book, 120 entries in six branches, and the book stays through every Ashfall.
At six crossroads per run you choose between two gifts. Plus small grade gifts for the first win over an ember grade, four new gemstones (opal, emerald, garnet, onyx) and every fix of the hotfixes 1.7.0.1 to 1.7.0.6.
The main trailer is here. Hero choice, mining, fishing in the Mirror Lake, smithing, sockets and runecarving, 16 professions, fights, world bosses, Titans of Ash, relics and the Ash Fall: all from the game itself, every scene with a short note on what you are looking at.
The Ember Grades are here. From Ashfall 3 on you set the toughness of the endgame bosses yourself, Anvil-master Hral forges your relics on and on with Grade Ember, and beyond Kholmoss three new Titans of Ash awaken.
Grade 0 stays the boss you know; nothing is taken away from anyone.
Fine-tuning from your reports. The hero stands at full size, the forge tells you what is missing, the tower can go “10 floors down”, hero and foe stand on one line, the forge works overnight like gathering, and hardening from +11 asks first (thanks, Madazenus, Rody, Rockkange, Holyjester and countzero666).
Plus: the Ashfall forgets less, offline counts for more, and relics awaken faster. Honestly: Gem Cutting gives 25 % less experience, and the Ember Crucible catches up at most 60 runs.
The hero at full height – and everything goes faster. Your hero can now stand at full height in a rectangular frame (thanks, Naya). Daily bosses and world bosses give their material in eights instead of fives, bad-luck protection for boss material and world boss gear, a second way for melee weapons: when upgrading a mythic melee weapon via the Ash Drake, half of the players are now done after 11 days instead of 27 (thanks, countzero666).
Plus: many reports from countzero666 and Madazenus fixed, a hint for the Garment of the Ashen Night, a clearer Ashfall for relics, the Ember Crucible in the return window and all new texts in nine languages.
The Relic Hall. Beneath the city, Archivist Sena has set up an archive for the hearts of places, and Anvil-master Hral wakes them at the forge. Thirteen new relics, five reworked old ones, awakening up to the fifth stage – and the hall survives the Ashfall.
Plus: gifts and counters on every boss card, a hunt with visible sources, the Traveller with a line of wares and a curiosity, a live-versus-offline comparison (thanks, Rody), glimmering relics, two titles, two frames and all new texts in nine languages.
What the lake swallowed. Mirror Lake fish carry six new finds in their bellies – Drowned Ember Mark, Gallstone, Drowned Bottle Post with three lake letters, Gizzard Stone, Clouded Lake Pearl and the Eye of the Lake for the museum. With “Gut heavy fish only” you gut exactly the fish that hold something (thanks, countzero666).
Plus: after a boss fight you stay with your boss, boss fights get their own window without jumping, “Where does my damage come from?” stays open, one-of-a-kind companions rank up with Starglow (thanks, Naya), cleaner foe cards and the bonfire legend (thanks, Rody), “Unequip all” and House trophies (thanks, countzero666) and combat tabs in their own colour (thanks, Isorn).
The Bonfire burns. Firemaking gets a heart of its own: throw whatever piles up into the fire, drive the heat up and earn the "Burning" or "Burning bright" blessing – with stages, auto-burn, a flame on your portrait and a heat bar right below the fire.
Plus: Ember Paths for all 21 skills with retroactive Ember Sparks (thanks, Holyjester), an Embertide where nothing expires anymore, with the new Ember Compass, a Mirror Lake where chests and keys balance out (thanks, Madazenus), every bait number in the tooltip and your reports (thanks, Rody, Isorn, countzero666 and Faith). And the Ashen Night? Who knows what else it is hiding … Since Hotfix 1.5.0.1 the festival is open – from today, September 29, until October 31.
The Ash Tower's foes are now in the bestiary. The tower's seven own foes – such as the Nameless Day, guardian of floor 95, 195, 295 … – have their own section with kills, threshold and location. Nothing vanishes after reloading anymore (thanks, Rody).
Plus: auto-fishing on the lake page without lost time (thanks, Rody and Madazenus), key 6 for the fifth ability, boss repeats with an Ash Sigil in the Abyss fixed (thanks, Madazenus) and no more "Back to back" in the settings (thanks, Rody).
The Ember Crucible now shows what it takes. The upgrade melts surplus basic materials into Arcane Dust and takes 20,000 gold per run – silently, until now. Now the first run brings a clear notice, every run is in the journal, and a gold reserve (100,000 by default) protects your gold. Switch it off: Upgrades → Ember Crucible. Thanks, Holyjester and johnhawk!
Plus: the legend of Azen the Mirror Angler, a bit more offline gain, a Chronicler's Quill that reveals the whole loot table, frost stones with an extra +2 to +11% maximum life, workshop sets in the tooltip, two new switches and fixes from Discord and the forum. Thanks, Tichkiir, Madazenus, Rody, Isorn and Holyjester!
All seven new languages checked line by line — Chinese first. Every language now has a fixed glossary, the same enemy, place or item has the same name everywhere, and every button, option and item was checked for meaning together with the place in the game where it appears.
Search works in every script, fragments have become whole sentences, and numbers use your language's format. Thanks, Rody, for the detailed notes on the Chinese version!
Veyr now speaks nine languages. New: Français, Español, Português (Brasil), Русский, 简体中文, 繁體中文 and 日本語 — everything translated, from the buttons to letters, cards and chronicles, around 12,500 texts. Pick your language on the title screen, in the main menu, in the settings or with the language button at the top.
Your language, your feedback. The new languages were translated from German and English with the help of AI and checked several times — but you know your language best. Something sounds clumsy? Tell us in the Steam forum or on Discord.
Also: the pack (companions at level 30 help from the bench with 10%, thanks eric-belair), the Ember Crucible (junk + gold → Arcane Dust), auto abilities per weapon type, Ash Sigils on boss repeat, a fixed workshop slot, “Forge without limit”, lake dishes are re-eaten automatically — thanks Fiedes, Madezeus, Madazenus, Rody and Meclodar.
Arrow keys? Really? Tired of the arrow-key mini-game? Ready for some real fishing? No button-tapping here — here you reel.
Had enough world bosses for today? The titans can wait. So can the dungeons. And the World Ablaze will still be burning tomorrow. In the Mistmoor lies a lake that has no bottom — Rufus, the old harbour master, sends you a message in a bottle: bring him ten glass eels and the pier is yours.
Fish yourself or let the set line do it (offline for up to 12 hours): eight depths down to the ground beneath the ground, 18 fish, seven rods, seven baits, seven chests on the bottom, the Thousand Faces as a new boss and the Knowing Carp that swims by once a day. Below 1,000 metres five monsters of the deep carry the five Named Rings — plus four lake companions with their own films and the Angler’s Garb.
Also: in the World Ablaze every foe and boss card now shows the real combat values (thanks, Meclodar), dungeon bosses warn you when they outmatch you, and found recipes appear only once (thanks, Rody). Requires: Ember Trail I, Fishing 20, Combat 15.
From 1.3 to 1.3.10 in a single week: a second depth opened beneath Veyr — and almost every day after that, something new arrived. The highlights:
The late game asks for more: tougher bosses, a steeper tower, hunting grounds and dungeons that grow with every Ashfall — and Heroic and Mystic Depths that pay more with every fall. Plus your wishes and reports.
A queue for the workshop (up to three crafts in a row, also offline), a scout band that survives the Ashfall, fresh dungeon loot in your new life, an Auto-Heal that eats first — and more than thirty bugs you reported.
After your first Ashfall a tower nobody built stands north-east of Emberwake: endless floors, guardians, memory rooms with voice and picture, seals and tower gifts, two new companions, seven foes found nowhere else, two new music pieces — plus films for every companion and the Epoch Bosses, and once more your findings.
New heroes learn the game step by step, three Epoch Bosses wait beyond Ashfall 1, 2 and 3, the Deep Vault adds four bank pages, a new companion hunts spheres — and big saves stutter far less.
New title screen, your hero stands in the foe's scenery, jump buttons to task, recipe and node — and 15 findings from a full Ashfall test fixed. Most of it came from your reports.
The Ash Remembers is out for Windows — 25% off during the first week.
All five weapon types now hit equally hard at the same level, the onboarding lost its one blocking step, and thirteen item images finally show what they promise.
One hundred simulated play styles, three measured runs each, every corner of the game knocked on — the road to launch is clear.
What comes next. What is built, what is being built and what is only an idea is sorted honestly on the roadmap, without dates. To the roadmap →
Mining, smithing, cooking, alchemy, thieving, carving, calling — plus five combat disciplines. Every mastery earns its own title.
Offline, in the background, overnight: your trades keep working, your fights go on. Come back and see what the ash has kept.
Seven dungeons, 35 bosses, each with its own story and best time. Rebirth unlocks the heroic depth — and a third, darkest one below it.
When your road ends, you let go — and begin again, stronger. The Ashfall is not a reset but a release: the city remembers every one of your runs.
83 narrated stories in English and German, 21 original music tracks, over 2,000 illustrations — ash cards, letters and messages in bottles no one came for.
No shortcuts. The strongest weapons drop as parts from fixed bosses — and you forge them yourself. Relics, ash seals, garments: all earned in play.
Small windows into the ash — every scene and place is from the game.
Seven world bosses. Eight titans. Twenty-five dungeon lords. Whoever sees them all fall finds no gate at the end, no chest and no glory — but something that stood there before the first ashfall ever came over Veyr.
“I am what the ash could not forget.”
The Ash Remembers is built by one developer — no publisher, no ad budget. If you stream, make videos or write, you get a key. However big or small your channel is.
An idle RPG in nine languages that keeps running while you talk to your chat — with a narrator, eleven world bosses and an ending that takes it all back. €11.99, out since September 7th, 2026.
The Ash Remembers is out — now on Steam, with Update 1.4 “The Mirror Lake”.
