The Game

An idle RPG that doesn't hold your hand

The ash forgets nothing.

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.

It keeps running — but it hands you nothing.

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.

A narrator walks with you.

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.

1.7.5 — New faces for the world

Before and after: the Ash Imprint in patch 1.7.5, old image on the left, new image on the right from head to feet Before and after: the Soot Picker in patch 1.7.5, old image on the left, new image on the right

New faces for the world: 145 new images for foes and bosses in one dark, unified style, with head, feet and weapons fully in frame, plus the new Ash Cards. The images reload with every update, even if your browser still held old ones in its cache. The Codex also shows which foes are not in the register for “Chronicler of Ash” (thanks, Fabian). Also in this update: hotfix 1.7.4b with better displays and texts for the Silent Chamber, the set display, the Next chain and the Rootcaller staff.

1.7.4 See Clearly

Patch 1.7.4 — See Clearly: more light, honest displays, a tidier menu

The game gets brighter and easier to read: brightening, contrast and text size up to 150% with three profiles (Default, Bright and clear, Easy on the eyes). Many displays now show honest values and clocks (Ash Leech net value, daily loot countdown, world boss after midnight, Silent Chamber in the Bestiary, Titan Shards at the Ash Anchor). Also new: a Simple Menu, a Pin Bar, a food order board with an affix total on the Equipment page, and many small improvements from the forum and Discord. Hotfix 1.7.4a “Symbols” gives the pin its own pin needle, shows the Ember Mark symbol instead of the carving sparkle in boss loot, and explains the purple frame and favourites in the Silent Chamber.

1.7.3 — Always fire, mastery and clearer displays

Patch 1.7.3 — Always fire: mastery, loot filter by set, chests while fishing

Ember Automation can also fire with the killing blow (“Always fire”), melee gets a mastery above level 100 (+0.25% max HP and armour per rank, up to 20 ranks), the loot filter knows sets, and fishing actively sometimes hooks chests. Also: armour before/after in the comparison, the golden mark visible everywhere, Grave Ash 2 to 3, a table “What each Ashfall opens”, “What's New” after updates and many small fixes.

1.7.2.2 — Companion films, box, translations and forum fixes

In every companion's profile “Watch film” starts the film even with “Reduce motion”; the opening film of the box always plays on click. Players who switched the tutorials off get the box too. English leftovers in the foreign languages are translated (Mirror Lake meals, Wisp's luck, Swap affix, Mystic panel, Ash Steps).

Fixed: workshop equipment can no longer be upgraded, explanation panels of the dungeon tiers wrap, no messages over the title screen, the depth-relic daily counter disappears when complete, the vendor-trash tooltip matches the market filter, codex pictures stay in frame. Thanks to everyone who reported and tested, especially masver1.

1.7.2.1 — Thanks from the Ash

Hotfix 1.7.2.1 — Thanks from the Ash

Thanks from the Ash. 1,000 of you have started the game, and every note made it better. Thank you, all of you: every save now has an old box waiting, with the Patchwork Bear inside, a companion for everyone (existing players on their next load, new players after the tutorial). Every 45 minutes he sets down a parcel of gold and provisions, makes death cheaper and saves you from the lethal hit once a day. He is a gift, not a goal: the menagerie does not get harder for anyone because of him.

Items also glow by rarity (in the settings: Off, Normal or Strong), the crafting side slot stays open after the Ash Turning, and many wishes from the forum are in: buy health draughts in bulk, a gem colour filter, clear a plot, back to the previous foe after the Hoard Warden, hold tooltips, colour scheme in the save.

1.7.2 — The First Stone

Update 1.7.2 — The First Stone

The First Stone. The causeway over the chasm now grows with you. From your first Ashfall on you help build it in the Builders' Hut: one day's work a day adds 50 fathoms, every Ashfall adds life fathoms on top, and the world map moves the causeway on, picture by picture.

From the other side someone hammers back and writes you letters. Also: the Last Bond in the Ashfall window, three new achievements and many small fixes: Ashfall and tasks, tour and plots, what you see matches what happens, titan names in every language, the Ember Bazaar is now the Market, dark scroll bars, the activity box stands below the hero by default, new bar looks, rarities filterable one by one, dungeon sets can be unmade, no more stutter while gathering, title music no longer behind the intro film, Last Bond warning in every language, clickable source line, Silent Chamber stays through the Ashfall, more fishing treasures, Ash Vault with 50 slots per page.

1.7.1 — The Ash Demands

Update 1.7.1 — The Ash Demands

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 new main trailer — 2:36 minutes of Veyr

The Ash Remembers — main trailer: the world boss Gravmorr, the Ash Maw

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.

1.7.0 — The Ember Grades

Update 1.7.0 — The Ember Grades

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.

1.6.2 — Fine-tuning

Patch 1.6.2 — Fine-tuning: three heroes at full height in rectangular frames under a night sky

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.

1.6.1 — Faster, clearer, fairer

Patch 1.6.1 — Faster, clearer, fairer: two heroes at full height in rectangular frames in the Relic Hall, an hourglass of embers between them

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.

1.6.0 — The Relic Hall

Patch 1.6.0 — The Relic Hall: relics glowing on the anvil of the forge

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.

1.5.1 — What the Lake Swallowed

Patch 1.5.1 — What the Lake Swallowed: a lantern on the jetty and a heavy fish with something glowing in its belly

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).

1.5.0 — The Ashen Night: The Bonfire burns

Patch 1.5.0 — The Ashen Night: a bonfire among glowing ash pumpkins

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.

Hotfix 1.4.3.1 — Tower foes in the bestiary, fishing without lost time

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).

Full 1.4.3.1 patch notes →

Hotfix 1.4.3 — The Ember Crucible shows what it takes

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!

Patch 1.4.2 — The translations, gone over again thoroughly

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!

Patch 1.4.1 — Veyr now speaks nine languages

Patch 1.4.1: The Ash Remembers in nine languages

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.

Update 1.4 — The Mirror Lake

Update 1.4 — The Mirror Lake: a hero fishing on a pier in the mist, next to a horned giant with ember veins who is fishing too.

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.

Show older news (1.3.10 and earlier)

Updates 1.3 to 1.3.10 — The Ash Wound

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:

  • 1.3 — The Ash Wound: five layers beneath Veyr, 25 foes of its own with one mythic unique each, a chronicle in eleven chapters, the Silent Chamber (catch and study creatures), the Shaft of Names as the sixth dungeon, a fifth attack for every hero and the world boss Ehl'Vurun.
  • 1.3.5 — The Abyssal Depth: a fourth dungeon tier for the Shaft of Names and the Deep Ground, Abyss Seals, the Abyss Shrine and the Abyss Mark.
  • 1.3.6: the hoard imp is now a foe instead of a click game.
  • 1.3.7 — The World Ablaze: a burning world with five times the health and three times the damage, the new main menu with ten save slots, the Ash Turning and the Loot Book.
  • 1.3.8: the endgame tightening from 1.3.7 is reverted — nothing you have earned gets taken away.
  • 1.3.9 and 1.3.10: eighteen World Ablaze garments, four workshop sets for crafting that can be refined in five tiers, and the red thread of the story beneath the world map.

Update 1.2.3 — Endgame Balance

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.

All patch notes → · Roadmap →

Update 1.2.2 — Workshop queue

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.

All patch notes → · Roadmap →

Update 1.2 — The Ash Tower

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.

All patch notes → · Roadmap →

Update 1.1.1 — A calmer start, three new bosses

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.

All patch notes → · Roadmap →

Update 1.1 — The Ash Burns

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.

Features

What awaits you

21 skills, each to level 100

Mining, smithing, cooking, alchemy, thieving, carving, calling — plus five combat disciplines. Every mastery earns its own title.

Keeps running when you leave

Offline, in the background, overnight: your trades keep working, your fights go on. Come back and see what the ash has kept.

Dungeons with up to four depths

Seven dungeons, 35 bosses, each with its own story and best time. Rebirth unlocks the heroic depth — and a third, darkest one below it.

The Ashfall

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.

A narrator, two languages

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.

The climb is deliberately hard

No shortcuts. The strongest weapons drop as parts from fixed bosses — and you forge them yourself. Relics, ash seals, garments: all earned in play.

A Living World

Veyr never stands still

Small windows into the ash — every scene and place is from the game.

The best gear you forge yourself No shortcuts — only ember, hammer and patience
It keeps working while you're away Your home in the ash never rests — offline, overnight
The ember tree When your road ends, you let go — and begin stronger
How far will you go? One wanderer, one lantern — and a colossus on the horizon
The world bosses Eleven colossi wait at the edge of the ash
Your companions 39 companions — feed them, pet them, walk together
The fight Foes, each with its own weakness and story
The dungeons Seven halls, 35 bosses, up to four depths
The Last Foe

Something waits beyond the last fire

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.”
