About
Embark on a journey into the forgotten world of Helix: Descent N Ascent.

You awaken in a dull, dark, disembodied world. Though you're usually alone, you soon encounter another being who looks just like you, except he always seems to be at odds with you. Who is this doppelganger? Is he a friend or a foe?


Discover new powers as you progress through your adventure. Each one of these powers allows you to meaningfully interact with your surroundings and solve the many puzzles awaiting you.


Master the unique mix-and-match system that allows you to combine these powers. Play in 25 distinctive ways, jumping between 3 levels of complexity while you explore the barren lands of Helix.


Beyond adventure, Helix invites you to reflect on identity, solitude and relationships. It weaves each mystery and reminiscence of a past existence with personal, cultural, and spiritual threads. Uncover overlooked details in a story worth revisiting.


Experience a tale not told with words, but through an immersive adventure enriched by stunning 4K black-and-white artwork, living 2D scenery, evocative paintings, and powerful atmospheric music. Drawing inspiration from 1980s black-and-white indie comics, 1990s manga, and 1970s Franco-Belgian comics, the monochrome imagery is symbolic, evoking the dichotomy of light and darkness.

挺好的独立游戏,解谜大部分不难,内容量挺充足的,也是打了个全成就(时长有很长时间的挂机,不能参考),首发也算值回票价。现在bug修了很多,操作也优化了。不过一些重复性操作还是比较多的,显得繁琐。
绝,这是我今年玩到最好的解谜游戏,加上美术、音乐,无可挑剔。
Sendo honesto, eu não esperava nada do jogo, mas me surpreendeu! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ3FRIR8shg&t=28s

This is a very visually impressive game. Love the uses of dark and light mixed in with puzzle solving that really challenged me. There's alot more than meets the eye. For sure one of my favorite puzzle games of the year. https://youtu.be/S6SRY5vrYPc
不错,不过某些关卡会遇到一些卡死问题,只能退出游戏再进入解决 —————————— 从后面的一些解密来看,感觉不是会卡死,只是返回的步骤比较麻烦我以为回不去了。正向解谜之后回去还要再解谜,真是把设计的关卡榨干了,太强了 —————————— 越玩越牛逼,年度最佳解谜有力竞争者
Helix is a beautiful game filled with clever puzzles and unique gameplay ideas. As you progress, you unlock new abilities, but you cannot equip them all at once. Instead, you must combine these powers, sometimes literally merging them, to find your way through an enigmatic and melancholic world.
Man what a neat game! It has unique and beautiful art, nice ambience, but most importantly gameplay. Have you ever wondered, when playing a mage or something: "so i have fire magic and ice magic. what would happen if the game let me combine it? what about fire and electricity? electricity and telekinesis?" So that game is the embodiment of that "what if" in a clever puzzle setting with tons of hidden secrets and a neat little story. Its 5!!! elements and ALL!!! their combinations that will leave you surprised every time! Did you think you can combine only two elements? YOU CAN COMBINE THREE ELEMENTS, HOW ABOUT IT! I enjoyed the hell out of it and you should too! As for complaints, there may be some incorrect layer overlapping rarely, maybe a bug or two, but nothing serious. Also, even though the movement gets faster, i wish it would be even more fast in the endgame. Thats all, go play it!
If you like feeling stupid after solving a puzzle, this is the game for you. And if you plan on going for 100% without any help, [spoiler]prepare your eyes and question everything[/spoiler]. On repeat playthroughs (and nearing the end of the main game) the game started feeling really slow, mainly due to the animation lengths for... everything. But if you plan on just playing through the main game once, then I do recommend playing this! [spoiler]Especially now, since most, if not all errors have been fixed from launch :D[/spoiler] The music and visuals were perfect for me to get immersed in the environment, although I might have a thing for any monochrome aesthetic.
I'm in love! The animations are amazing and the atmosphere is peak! The beautiful black and white art direction is something you won't find elsewhere. Can't wait to play more!
