During the apocalypse setting

[Shardstone]

I wonder if there is a RPG setting that fits a “during the apocalypse” theme?
(I have included some ideas, but anything that portrays a setting where stability and order are slipping away.)
-The decaying governments used to provide some balance between the needs of the people and the needs of society.
-No unified rebellion, but many selfish actors.
Cults, scams, bandits, big corps
-Sense of a progressive decline.
Not really a timeline, but maybe a series of events that mark the downward spiral.
-The break up of the nations.
Independent states breakaway. Cities fall to chaos.
-Weird stuff starts to happen more and more. Cults perform dark magic. Science abominations rampage. Other dimensional breaches increases.

Yes! My Scavenger setting, which is published both digitally and physical, is a Bronze Age setting going through an apocalypse. The Great Dying is characterized by six natural disasters that are magnified to the point of wiping out cities. Scavengers have to explore their dying world or brave a portal to an alien World Torn Apart, dealing with raiders, rival scavengers, extreme life, weird cults, science fantasy abominations, and all kinds of other stuff. Governments are collapsing in the remaining city-states, and its chaos everywhere. I can send you a free PDF if you're interested in checking it out!

I am really looking forward to Ashes Without Number! I do not know much about it though (his other works look really good as well.)

His previous games (Stars, Worlds, and Cities without number) are all available in free versions on Drivethru. I strongly recommend checking them out.

Just a focus on the critical events being gameable. Even if there involvement is on a small local level.

Usually those are. They're pretty much core to a lot of what's usually called survival horror.

$24 doesnt classify as free...

That's the deluxe version. There are free versions of all of those. I got the free version of Cities Without Number off of Drivethru last month.

Yup, what Micah Sweet said. The free version of Stars Without Number I bought was missing a few chapters in the back. The Drive thru page outlines for Cities wihtout Number, but a simple copy paste and here you go:

What you get in the deluxe that you dont get in the free:

• Cyberware quirks and features for particular megacorp product lines
• Variant gengineered human types for PCs who don't fit the baseline mold
• Optional rules for the psychological strain of Cyber Alienation
• Optional rules for cheap street cyber, for those campaign settings where every goon with a knife has some wire beneath his skin
• Spellcasting, spirit summoning, and magical items for GMs who want to add a dash of magic into their cyberpunk world
