Ascent

Ascent is a third-person narrative-driven adventure exploration game inspired by Baltic folklore utilising a dark, handcrafted art style.

Encounter and assist folklore-inspired characters as you climb the hallowed mountain to take the last remaining flame to the summit, all the while becoming immersed in a harsh mythical world conveyed through a fully-illustrated folktale.

Key Features:

• Baltic culture representation- become a part of life-long Baltic traditions: cleanse yourself with fire, offer sacrifices to the dead, and experience a symbiotic relationship with nature.

• Grim folktale atmosphere- experience a story reminiscent of the original Brothers Grimm fairy tales,  conveying the challenges and perils of life.

• Reignite fires –  light up people’s hearths, campfires, and candles using the last flame of humanity, and receive blessings from the Baltic gods.
  

• Dark, angular, and painterly art style- heavily inspired by symbols recurring in all forms of Baltic art, resulting in an angular, painterly look with an emphasis on refined shape language.
