We build worlds that players enjoy.
Ashen Studios crafts atmospheric horror experiences built to be genuinely fun to get lost in. Currently building Did You See That? — a co-op descent into a carnival that hasn't forgotten you.
A studio built on passion for great worlds.
Ashen Studios is an independent game studio founded on a simple idea: games are at their best when they're genuinely fun to be inside. We care about crafting enjoyable experiences and worlds that players want to spend time in, whatever shape that world takes.
Our first release, Liminalcore, shipped on Steam to a Very Positive reception. We're now hard at work on our next game, Did You See That? — a co-op anomaly horror experience.
Everything we've shipped, and what's coming next.
Did You See That?
A co-op psychological horror game where not every player sees the same reality. Explore a carnival trapped in an endless transformation, detect anomalies, and make the right decisions before the clown Bobby loses his temper...
Liminalcore
A psychological horror walking simulator through the Backrooms — descend through the Poolrooms, Faded Memories, Infinite Stairs, and Hell to piece together a drowning man's fractured mind.
Built on atmosphere, engineered in Unreal.
Every project starts with a feeling we want the player to sit in — then we build the systems and environments to get them there.
Mood First
Lighting, sound, and pacing are designed before a single mechanic. If the space doesn't feel right, nothing else matters yet.
Unreal Engine Craft
Custom shaders, lighting rigs, and level tooling built in Unreal Engine to make liminal, surreal spaces feel physically real.
Small, Deliberate Team
We ship focused, finished experiences rather than chasing scope — every room in our games earns its place.
