Ascension is a psychological horror game where you play as Atticus, a grounds keeper who has brought his sick daughter to work
on the day of a horrible accident. Separated from her, you must find your way back before something else reaches her first.

Whoa, a nice surprise, Yuri. The game's actually good. It's funny how small indie games have more survival elements that big horror AAA wanna-be's. Laughing

Anyway, can I kill enemies? Found an axe and tried butchering through one of the opponents, but it seemed like it'd take forever to actually bring them down before they in turn finish me off.

Yeah you can but it is very very difficult. Most likely you'll be mauled so more or less you'll have to "Amnesia" your way through by hiding in the darkness and holding your breath.

Yeah I was surprised by how good the atmosphere was - especially the ending.

Although I till haven't been able to make sense of many plot details. If you finish the game post your interpretation

Haven't played 2D games in a while, you see. Plus, didn't see it mentioned early on in the game. So, just wanted people to know. Smile

I've tried it out of curiosity and it's definitely a nice little gem, very atmospheric (and old-school). Thanks Yurina!

Too short. And has very little moments that actually require any surviving skills. You can always run your way around monsters without taking a scratch. Laughing But that's how much you get for a free game. Laughing
