The story of "Ashley: The Story of Survival" revolves around the protagonist, Ashley, who loses her family in a mysterious attack, but the narrative quickly jumps to her high school and college years, leaving much of her backstory unexplored. While the game features an interesting premise and a diary-style plot, many players feel that the overall story is lacking depth, with quests providing minimal narrative engagement and a linear progression that leads to an abrupt conclusion. Overall, the game offers a basic storyline that fails to fully develop the survival theme players expected.
“Ashley: the story of survival has an interesting premise and tagline.”
“I really liked that the game contains a plot in the form of a diary - cute.”
“And it has a plot that even keeps my attention.”
“There is a story throughout of the girl Ashley losing her entire family to what I'm assuming was a freak attack by a major world power, but it doesn't go into much detail about her younger hard years and skips up into high school and college fairly fast.”
“Severely lacking in story: the 'quests' you get to beg for food or work with dogs are the only source of story. Once the quests are done, it is done, and when you finish the last quest, you suddenly have a husband and children.”
“There's basically no story as you progress.”
