A downloadable game for Windows

In the end they have reached the core. You represent our final struggle. Push against endless and overwhelming odds. Overcome your limits, your fears and ascend.

A VR experience pushing the boundaries of your spatial awareness by pitting you against swarms of enemies from all sides. Deflect, Dodge and Defend what is yours - if you fail, the very ground you stand upon will crumble as it leaves you with less and less. If you succeed, ascend a step further towards salvation.

This game was entirely created with Mantis Engine, our custom VR engine.

The game is in early-access, expect bugs and major changes as we move further. We'd really appreciate it if you report any bugs you encounter, or share any feedback you may have!

How to play

Kill Crawling enemies to gain ammo with which you can shoot the distant enemies - use the dropped gems to fuel the platform so that you may ascend higher.

Known bugs

  • A tile on the platform could be damaged twice while it's already being destroyed, thus one instance of damage is "lost". In essence saving the player a hit.
  • The Flyer enemy sometimes randomly freezes in place.
  • Sometimes audio may be inverted.
  • Text sometimes disappears.
  • Certain actions are missing sounds and visual effects.
  • Crawlers jumping at you can damage the platform even though you slice them.
