Escape the darkness and fight for survival in THE ASCENT
Will you ever see the sun again?
From Black Cats Gaming, creators of The Spy Game and Cursed Captains of Cthulhu, comes The Ascent.
The Ascent is a journaling game about being lost and alone in a claustrophobic situation. It is a game about fear, isolation, and the tantalizing possibility of hope at the end of it all.
Using the Wretched & Alone system, you play as someone lost deep in unexplored caverns. You must struggle against the elements, hunger, thirst, and worst of all, your own mind. You can barely trust your own senses, your thoughts betray you, and around every dark twist and turn of the seemingly endless caves there could be anything lurking and scuttling, always just out of view.
The game requires a standard deck of playing cards, a six-sided die, 10 tokens, a tumbling block tower (optional), and a way to record your entries.
