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.

Only played through the first 2 hours, but already this game is amazing!! I'm blown away by the artwork, the puzzle are challenging enough, and the audio is dope! Love it <3
bug有点多,暂时不建议现在入手。打完两次结局但是发现有些地方没有办法进去,不知道是不是有地方没做好。 游戏性是不错的,但是bug会影响游戏进程特别是一些隐匿解密流程。 后续更新之后再更改评价。
Puzzles involving all Glyphs were satisfying brain-scratchers. The powers synergized in the quirkiest of ways. But I have zero idea how to 100% this game. The game is too cryptic at times; I often found solutions or secret paths by pure accident. I didn't find all pages so the overall story still makes little sense to me. If you don't care about that, then great! But the lingering feeling of failing to reach an arcade machine on a remote platform is going to bother me to no end. Guess I'll have to wait for walkthroughs and use them next time I play the game.

very chill gameplay great atmospheric monochromatic world and the puzzles are brilliant music is great too there's so much to discover
Un jeu de puzzle chill. Il est formaté pour pouvoir choisir entre de longues parties ou de petites sessions d'une dizaine de minutes grâce à des tableaux clairement séparé bien qu'organiquement reliés. Très agréable, on n'est jamais perdu. Les énigmes sont bien pensées sans être trop complexes.
Least satisfactory double jump obtainment in history
Very enjoyable puzzle game that definitely makes you think. Good combo of tight spatial puzzles and some meta secret stuff. Secrets are challenging without feeling like they would require any outside assistance. Highly recommended.
很巧妙的设计,一张地图通过不同的能力组合可以进入不同的地点完成关卡或收集隐藏。五种能力排列组合还可以相互融合,在游玩过程中时刻处于熟悉之中带有新鲜的感觉。没有精准限时操作,没有太多对作者电波的谜题,是比较纯粹的解谜体验。难度方面从一种能力到两两组合再到三三组合,曲线平滑,总体难度中等。另外一个加分项是跑图能力随游玩过程增强,中期即完全体,减少垃圾时间专注解题。 目前6小时进度50%
牛逼……有内味了
Extremely deep game with very satisfying combinations of abilities and astonishing art style
