Summary
Ephemeral Ascent is a PC action-adventure level-design project set in a mysterious, Chinese-inspired world. Players use a grappling hook to traverse desolate cliffs and hazardous areas (including deadly pools).
Player solve environmental puzzles by finding statues and returning them to a stone gate, and follow hidden plant/pattern clues to unlock new paths—ultimately reaching a temple and a floating island paradise beyond the gate.
