About
Use momentum-based movement mechanics with precision, deploy a variety of tools and resources, and ascend as fast as you can.
Just don't lose your grip, there’s eternity below you.
Manage your inventory or become encumbered and fall to your death. Failure to grab what you need from your bag in time can spell disaster.
Through run-based meta-progression, you’ll discover and unlock varied augmentations.
Bolster your will to ascend.
You're not alone down here. Strange life flourishes far underground, and darker things haunt these halls. Something oozes from the depths– following you, growing angrier… and it won't let up.
Travel through different regions with unique threats and gameplay challenges during your attempted escape of the underground megastructure.
The deep dry storage of the Silos, the putrid sewers of the Pipeworks, the haunted piers of Habitation. Each area will require adaptation to new obstacles and denizens.

This game really is one you have to play to know if you like it. If you have seen videos of it and it looks quite fun, chances are you will LOVE IT. Also the game has a demo. Try that and see how it feels. The game is about a tenner so maybe wait for a sale if unsure. The game is brilliant in my opinion and I have been playing a total of at least 14h some days
bien plus complet que ce que je pensais, y a des secrets, un aspect roguelite, du challenge, une bonne durée de vie et de la rejouabilité donc pour le prix ça vaut le coup !

♥♥♥♥♥ мясо гнилое
Se tu gosta de plataformes, terror e misterio pare de ver jogue
as a child i yearned for the tunnels. i grew with the feeling that only the tunnels could satiate my hunger as i grabbed my skittleslop with my bony hands and my white knuckles i felt a primal urge to climb upward instead of across. my journey began as john knuckle
Rarely do I ever feel compelled to write a review, equally as rarely do I find a game that I fall into like this one. This game is stressful, it's kinda scary and I hate horror, but it is so rewarding and fun and interesting that I have somehow been able to push past that. Every mechanic feels fantastic to learn, it's the kind of game you want to get better at. "just one more run" till its 2am and your cortisol is through the roof. It's also the kind of game where after a failed run the typical reaction is "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid game i love it so much okay one more" knowing full well it was your fault and your own biblical levels of greed. The lore, the atmosphere, the look and feel it all coalesces into such a perfect mix. its not even done but I would pay top dollar for this game because even as it is, even if god forbid something happens it is already infinitely replayable and fun and worth the money and the time. This thing can run on a potato, do yourself a favor, get it, play it, and lose yourself to it. 10/10
Whoever designed new ascent should be unconditionally lobotomized
