About this game

Psychological horror meets "facility" management.

ASCEND.exe is a retro-horror management game built around a single, unsettling question: why does the facility never stop expanding?

Discover your true purpose.

You are the latest operator of a research facility buried deep underground. During the day, attach nodes, manage resources, keep production running.

Explore the old facility.

In the dark, something in the abandoned sections is still active. Hide from it, run from it, learn from the mistakes of the past.

Features:

Node-based construction with upgrade, merge, and adjacency mechanics.
Retro CRT visual aesthetic with stylised horror.
A facility that reveals its history as you build deeper into it.
Mature content: jump scares, disturbing imagery, occult themes, psychedelic visuals.
