About This Game

You are not a soldier. Not a fighter. Just an ordinary maintenance guy caught in the midst of strange events. Yet you have to fight. And you are forced to run. But above all: you must help frozen crew members survive on a spaceship in the middle of nowhere. You are the only one who can save others from death or eternal cryo-sleep. You are made a hero against your will. You become a leader. A slayer.

Only really careful and fast will survive

A massive starship navigates through outer space, far from all planets, other vessels, or celestial bodies. On its deck, in cryogenic sleep, future colonizers, workers, soldiers, and... something else waits.

Key Features:

• Explore the shipwreck, find supplies and help other survivors
  
• Solve puzzles, avoid traps
  
• Eliminate strange alien creatures in different ways
  
• Unfroze a few unlucky souls that may help you solve the mystery

Game features:

Exploration and resources
The big and beautiful spaceship became a dangerous wreck. It now looks more like a tomb than a vessel full of future colonists. You have to carefully investigate different parts of “Ascendancy”, looking for clues and resources. The most important is oxygen, of course - without O2 you will be dead in a few minutes. Batteries are also more than useful because you need them to power your flashlight, which starts flickering when cells are almost empty. And then it will be completely dark…


Engaging story
Obviously, your survival is the most important quest you are undertaking. But to live through, you have to solve the mystery: What took place on the space vessel that should transfer the colonists to the distant world? What happened to the crew?

Who are these strange creatures that roam the shipwreck? And where are you - in which part of space?


Different strategies of survival
The shipwreck roams with strange and nasty creatures. There are slow ones, stupid ones, fast ones, smart ones, and armed ones (to name a few). You have to eliminate some of them - you may shoot, use mines, or makeshift traps. But most of the time you must avoid those critters or outrun them, employing wits and stealth and counting on luck. Just keep in mind the amount of oxygen you have - the lack of it may kill you…


But the best one is to RUN!


Other poor souls
Fortunately, there are other poor souls on this wreck floating in space. And you - just a normal maintenance guy - you may use them. Some of them you can wake up and they will help you in the best possible way, depending on abilities they have. Others will go on sleeping, waiting for better days. Remember that you need oxygen for those who join you - and three people use more O2 than one… So you have to evaluate if the help is more valuable than the used oxygen?


Remember: on a spaceship your enemies can always hear you scream…
