About This Game

"Wrong direction. Redo it — the way you had it this afternoon!"

One more message from your boss. So you quit — and step into a xianxia world of immortals, spirit herbs and stone golems.

Resign to Ascend is a lighthearted single-player 3D adventure about becoming an immortal cultivator: growing your spiritual power, mastering weapons and spells, and building a life beyond the office.

Every moment in the wild costs lifespan.

Every 60 seconds in the wild takes one year off your lifespan. Returning home badly wounded costs extra. Gather herbs, mine ore, fish in the rain, solve mechanisms and fight beasts and bosses. What will you bring home, and how far will you go for it? Push on or leave with your haul — the choice is yours. At home, your lifespan stops ticking away.

Turn your haul into strength for the next journey.

Sow herbs from your pack in your garden and brew elixirs from the harvest. Forge gear from ore and other materials. Organize your supplies and combine weapons, spells and spiritual techniques before setting out again. Your discoveries become more than stored loot: they help you grow stronger.

Outmatched? Go home and grow stronger.

Read your enemies’ attacks, dodge and find an opening. When a boss proves too tough, return home to change gear, craft and prepare elixirs, then come back for another try.

Make time for life at your mountain home.

Qingniu Peak is your refuge. Carry water to the herb garden, listen to the furnace, wander the paths and stop to pet a cat. Your lifespan does not tick away at home, while your herbs keep growing. Between adventures, there is room to slow down.

Reincarnation gives your next life a head start.

When your lifespan runs out, begin a new life. Your warehouse, spirit stones, reincarnation talents, home facilities and herb garden carry over, so the next journey does not start from nothing.

Currently available in Simplified Chinese only.
