Description
Ashfield Hollow is a post-apocalyptic survival life-sim RPG set ten years after a global outbreak. The player awakens unconscious and is brought to Camp Ashfield, one of the last remaining safe settlements. The game combines farming, crafting, scavenging, fishing, real-time combat, and survival systems as players rebuild a home, connect with other survivors, and carve out a future in a world still recovering from collapse.
A Word from the Developer
“I wanted to make a survival game that focuses on what happens after the world ends, not just constant danger and combat. Ashfield Hollow is about routines, rebuilding, and finding purpose while living in a broken world. Every system has been built to support long-term play and player choice rather than short-term survival alone.”
Story
Ten years after the outbreak, the player is found unconscious and brought to Camp Ashfield, a functioning survivor settlement. Instead of centering the experience around nonstop combat, the game focuses on rebuilding life through everyday activities. Players grow crops, scavenge abandoned locations, craft tools, fish for food, and build relationships within the camp. Exploration outside the settlement leads to encounters with infected enemies, hostile humans, and remnants of the old world that slowly reveal what was lost.
