About this game
Set in the Perilous Lost Labyrinths of Egypt - Kybalion must willingly descend into a lucid nightmare, where he is trialed by cosmic forces, to secure the Ascension of his soul.
It is half a second to midnight and your sands are running dry...
The fate of humanity depends upon your Ascension...
A 3D Initiation into the Mystery Schools of Antiquity
Descend into the Labyrinth, Find & Unseal the Hidden Scrolls, Gather the Fragments of Wisdom, Discover the Occult Operations of the Cosmos, Ascend the Trials of the Seven Luminaries and redeem humanity from its immanent destruction in your final judgement of Ascension.
Precision Platforming
Responsive, momentum-driven movement built for precision timing and flow. Master jumping, climbing, rolling, air control, special abilities, and dynamic traversal to navigate the labyrinth and evade its deadly perils.
Initiation into Mastery
33 unique Ascension Trials across 7 Cosmic Spheres. Intense verticality, diverse paths, physics-based interactions, and multiple solutions reward mastery, pattern recognition, and adaptive thinking while boosting re-playability. Discover a vast arsenal of unique game play elements in every sphere.
Resource Management
Manage Time, Health, Stamina, Spirit, and Karma. Soul progression lets you invest points for permanent bonuses that shape your runs and reward strategic self-mastery.

Perilous Traps
Memory, timing, focus, and emotional stability are constantly tested. Expect to laugh out loud, cry in shame and shout in rage. Each failure is data for growth that can be contrasted and transmuted into moments of triumph.
Seamless First & Third-Person Camera

Scalable Difficulty
Scale from Initiate to Master. Challenges demand mastery of external mechanics and internal focus — training attention, emotional regulation, and cognitive endurance under pressure.
Light Puzzles & Discovery
Find and unseal hidden scrolls, solve parchment mini-games (Principles, Chakras, Alchemy, Gods), observe signs and symbols in plain sight, and collect fragments of wisdom. Attention, memory, intuition, and metacognition are rewarded; suboptimal habits are punished.
Ghost Run System
Save and share your best runs. Race against yourself, friends, or favorite streamers anytime — online or offline. Perfect for deliberate practice and performance tracking.
Themes Inspired by Gnostic & Hermetic Alchemy
Spiritual Alchemy shapes Ascension's core mechanics, level design, movement challenges, UI, and narrative. Symbolic reenactment of ancient ascension rites lets you attain Gnosis without breaking game flow, turning play into a living cognitive and spiritual practice.
