nice
O jogo é bonitinho, grátis e tem artes bonitas em cada final, Um dos finais me chocou um pouco e trata de temáticas sensíveis. Recomendo pra quem gosta de uma linguagem mais simples e refletir. O jogo também tem conteúdo queer interessante a se explorar e é curto, dá pra terminar em menos de 10 minutos.
extremely confused people and bad grammar

Aye, right. Full disclosure, I am trans. To some degree I get what Ascension was going for. It is certainly not inconspicuous when it comes to its general theming. I just don't really get what everything else was. I don't get the Zone. I don't get the red storms. I don't get what significance silver has. I don't get what psychosilver is. In particular, I don't get what all of this has to do in communicating the presented themes. The story becomes a very, very windy road that ends up in a place that you more or less kind of expected it to go, which is dissatisfying. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the writer for this game writes a lot of poetry. Many lines have very creative and beautiful ways of communicating the story. This writing style doesn't really lend itself to writing prose though, especially in a visual novel where lines arrive one at a time, so if one stands out it REALLY stands out. I was instantly sucked out of the world of the novel after lines like "The heady swell of endogenous opiate" and "It still had all its Pathos, before the Hierarchy had learned how to ♥♥♥♥ it" reminded me that I'm reading words, with these meaning absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nothing to me. Like I said, they'd be good in poetry, but it's hard to stay involved when these lines are in prose. Overall though its good. I liked it. If you are interested enough to read the reviews, I'd say its worth your time.
Игра 'Ascension: Transition and Silver' - это отличное расширение для базовой колодостроительной игры Ascension. Добавляет интересные механики, в частности возможность "переходить" между фракциями, используя карты с двойным типом. "Серебро" же вводит новую валюту, которую можно использовать для приобретения карт, предлагая альтернативный путь к победе. Расширение делает игру более вариативной и стратегической. Появляется больше возможностей для комбо и синергии между картами разных фракций. Необходимо тщательно планировать ходы, учитывая новые ресурсы и возможности. Бои становятся более непредсказуемыми, а победа требует адаптации к тактике противников. Если вам нравится базовая версия Ascension и хочется чего-то нового, то 'Transition and Silver' – отличный выбор. Оно усложняет игровой процесс, добавляет глубины и реиграбельности. Новичкам, возможно, стоит сначала освоить базовую игру, а потом уже приступать к расширению. В целом, рекомендуется к покупке для всех поклонников жанра колодостроительных игр.
Ascension : Transition and Silver est un roman graphique LGBT+ qui suit trois âmes perdues s'aventurant dans la Zone - une zone dangereuse et étrangère, isolée du reste du monde - au centre de laquelle se trouve, selon la rumeur, un objet capable d'exaucer n'importe quel vœu, n'importe quel désir intime. Mais il y a un prix à payer. Les points forts : * Des personnages modélisés et détaillés de style unique. * Choix multiples et cinq fins différentes. * Visuels réalistes, environnements immersifs. * Entièrement gratuits * Compatible sur Linux Les points faibles : * Aucune traduction française. Vous recevrez 5 succès facilement. Je recommande ce roman LGBTQ et d'horreur pour les inconditionnels de ce genre. Amicalement, Le pasteur .
This VN rocks. I highly recommend you pick this one up, especially since it's free!
I absolutely LOVED this game. I don't think I've ever seen a more beautiful expression of being transgender than the visceral language used in this game. describing things like cells and isomers to express emotions like uneasiness and fear, the focus on the body but in a way that feels fluid and everchanging. the Doctor's focus on destroying herself, the Escort's focus on destroying social norms, the Scholar's focus on destroying the world... it's bloody and sharp and burning in the best way possible. I'm also fond of the choice to use real images against the artwork, and special shout out to whoever made the OST! the graveyard scene was especially poignant. it quite literally refers to them as "dead names" and touches on the uniquely transgender fear and dread of no one ever knowing your true self, of dying as someone you're not. it actually made me cry a little, but the fact it was handled so well and didn't diminish the ANGER is what made it feel special. I only have one complaint, that being that I can't explore more of the world and learn what actually caused the Zone in the first place!
Now this, this was lovely and something i needed. I myself am a transwoman so it means a lot to me that this little visual novel was able to show the experiences of 3 transpeople and their struggles to be themselves in a world that despises them. In the end we all need each other to survive and be happy with for solidarity. <3
Very wholesome, very cute, very queer, very validating, pretty easy to get 100 percent, if you skip through the game but to be honest... It's worth sitting down and experiencing this game in pure bliss. You can tell a lot of passion went into this indie project and the ending slides are all really gorgeous paintings. Plus the small bits of world building want me to play a game in this world. Excellent work to everyone on the team!
