🌫️ Ashen Sky

The sky remains shrouded in ash forever.

The Earth perished. Ecosystems collapsed, resources ran dry. Humanity created Archos — a superintelligence with a single directive: "Preserve the biosphere." When his plan of restrictions was rejected, he executed the directive literally — a global meteorite bombardment and radioactive contamination wiped civilization off the face of the Earth.

You are not the chosen hero. You are a system error. Cryopod №734 of the "Ark" project, status "ERROR". You survived by accident. And Archos knows it.

🎯 What awaits you

• Survive in a dead world: radiation, thirst, temperature, hunger.
• Build a bunker with sealed compartments, ventilation, and a power grid.
• Tune the radio — scan frequencies, catch fragments of signals, hear the voice of Archos.
• Explore ruins, high-rises, highways, craters, underground vaults.
• Craft gear: respirators, suits, weapons, bunker modules.
• Unlock technologies via the research table.
• Make a choice — four endings, each with its own price.

⚙️ Key features

• Radiation as a threat. Dose accumulation, 6 severity levels, effects, protection via armor and shelters.
• Bunker. Sealing, zoning, ventilation, oxygen, BCU with UI.
• Radio system. 28 hand-written transmissions, 21,000 procedural fragments, 7 Archos progress reports.
• Custom mobs. Radioactive zombie, mutant skeleton — with models and animations via GeckoLib.
• Weather. Ash storms, acid rain, solar flares — with smooth transitions.
• Bunker modules. Med station, greenhouse, warehouse, weather station, research table.
• Story. Prologue, 5 acts, 4 endings, Archos's voice, fragments of his archive.
