The Ascent
ONCE THE TITLE SCREEN HAS LOADED CLICK THE SCREEN TO BEGIN
Background:
A short visual experience blending choice with point-and-click interaction. Initially created for a 3-hour game jam, I wanted to see if I could incorporate my paintings in a game in an interactive way. It was also an opportunity for my daughter to get involved (she did the voice acting).
Introduction:
You don’t remember how you got here.
Only that you know you need to move.
Onwards and upwards.
Each step reveals something familiar, not in form, but in feeling. Landscapes shift. Light opens. Resistance surfaces. A voice guides you. It feels as if this is something you’ve done before.
There are no instructions. No clear answers.
And somewhere beyond it all… something is waiting.
Content Warnings:
Existential themes, psychological tension
