When wear and tear drags your equipment down, execute repairs under strict deadlines to keep the port growing.
  • Operate Powerful Machinery: Take command of a fleet of realistic machines, expertly engineered with the raw power and precise handling to fulfill your contracts, from colossal ship-to-shore cranes to sturdy, heavy-duty tractors and more. Tighten ropes, position materials, optimize weight distribution, navigate delicate cargo with little margin for error, and gain a firsthand understanding of what it means to work a dock.
  • Earn, Invest & Expand: Revitalize Port Wake one crane at a time. Every job you take earns cash to invest in new and more powerful machinery. Sign contracts to create new logistical chains and build up resources, purchase lots to store vehicles, upgrade fuel and power supplies, and conquer new milestones to save and expand the family business.

SEATTLE Oct. 13, 2025 — Ready yourself for an adventure like the classic games of yore! tinyBuild and indie developer Fire & Frost have announced today that Of Ash and Steel, the retro-inspired, open-world RPG that blends old-school spirit with modern design, will launch on Steam and GOG on Nov. 6, 2025.

Train with different weapons and combat stances to unlock powerful abilities and become a force on the battlefield.
