About This Game

Play the free demo

The demo is free on Steam. It starts on the forest road to the lab on a stormy night and ends when the lights come on.

About the game

Ascendora is a story-driven horror game played in first person.

You play Harper, the child of a scientist who went missing after an accident at the laboratory they owned. Raised by old friends of the family who would never talk about it, Harper finally finds a lead: Ascendora.

Explore the abandoned building with a lantern and the night vision on your wrist. Find keys, codes and tools, bring the power back, and find out what happened. The truth lies in the lower levels of the lab.

A night outside

Before you even reach the building, there is the forest. Pick up the backpack, light the lantern and follow the road through the pines in the wind. Find a way past the old guard post and the locked gates. This part of the forest does not feel entirely empty.

Light is everything

Your lantern runs on batteries, and they run out. The wrist device has night vision that shows what the lantern can't, but every second on that small green screen costs you light.

Features

  • A night outside before you even reach the building: forest, wind, a broken guard post and something in the trees.
  • A lantern that runs on batteries, and a wrist device with night vision that shows what the lantern can't.
  • Keys, codes, locks and tools hidden around an abandoned laboratory.
  • The story told through the place itself: documents, notes and what was left behind.
  • Scares that come from the dark, not from gore.
  • Full English voice acting and subtitles.]
