Game style: Balanced roleplay and tactical combat. Custom setting, epic scope, permanent consequences.
THE ASCENSION GAME
The gods are dead. When they fell, their power rained down into mortals — and a mountain rose in humanity's last hour, calling the worthy to climb it. At the summit: godhood, and the chance to save a dying world. You are a Shardbearer — an ordinary person carrying a fragment of a dead god. You are not the only one climbing. Rival expeditions from the last fortress cities are ascending alongside you, and only one will reach the top.
WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT
Here are links to my worldbuilding and Mechanics videos
Every character has a signature divine ultimate — a personal, cinematic power unique to them. Combat escalates through custom mechanics where nobody dies cheaply, and every encounter has lasting consequences. Defeat a rival Shardbearer and you can permanently claim a piece of what they were.
Six floors. Six trials. One summit.
Inspirations: Elden Ring, Final Fantasy XVI, Highlander, Neon Genesis Evangelion.
