About This Game

> running ASCEND.exe...

A sharp sensation is lifted from your head. A voice in the back of your mind tells you that you are "the next." That this has happened before. That it will keep happening until The Design is complete.

ASCEND.exe is a retro-horror incremental about constructing a research facility one node at a time. Attach nodes of different styles and affinities to a central vertical shaft. Merge duplicate structures into something stronger. Keep the lights on. Keep the drill running. Keep going deeper than you meant to.
