A.S.H.E.S

(Artificial Shelter & Human Evacuation Sequence)

From the ashes, the Phoenix will rise.

After decades of political tension, the world fell victim to the Great Nuclear War of 1989. In a matter of days, cities were reduced to rubble and the skies burned with fire.

Amid the devastation, the remaining survivors united to secure humanity's future. Ancient evacuation systems were reactivated, and the first underground shelters were built. Thus, the A.S.H.E.S. Protocol — Artificial Shelter & Human Evacuation Sequence — was born: a vast network of underground colonies designed to preserve what remained of the human race.

Two years later, the last survivors work tirelessly to rescue civilians, rebuild civilization, and develop a project capable of restoring life to the surface: Project Phoenix.

In A.S.H.E.S.: Blackout Protocol, you will lead one of these colonies in its struggle for survival. Rescue civilians, expand your shelter network, construct new facilities, and contribute to the development of Project Phoenix—the initiative that may one day restore hope to humanity.
