House of Ashes' plot is set predominantly during the Iraq War and in the former territory of the ancient Akkadian Empire that existed in Mesopotamia around 4,000 years ago.[27] A small portion of the game takes place in the fictional Massachusetts town Little Hope as a nod to the previous eponymous instalment.[28] In the game's timeline, the Akkadian Empire is the site of the crash-landing of a spaceship that carried thousands of large, bat-like aliens from the Cetus constellation that flew near Earth's atmosphere.[
