Ascended

Ascended is a game of survival and magic, where you play a creature that wakes up alone and lost in a cold and dark world, oblivious of who or what it is. Your objective is to survive and discover your true self, while at the same time exploring the world around you. This rulebook will help you do that.

Ascended features two distinct chapters: Awakening and Ascension. During Awakening, you explore your surroundings and build up your strenght. Then, during Ascension, you come to realize who you are and fight your way through the perils of this world, overcoming amazing challenges in search for a godly reward. Each chapter has its own rules and lasts for a pre-determined number of rounds, each round featuring three phases: MOVE, DECIDE and BREATHE.

During these chapters, two different game cycles will occur: Daylight and Darkness, represented by each of the sides of the terrain tiles. The game starts during Daylight. When the cycle changes, you will have to flip all the terrain tiles over in the same direction, to show the corresponding cycle.
