About the Game

A Dual Ascent is a solo-cooperative adventure game in which you control both characters simultaneously with a single controller. Guide them as they ascend the Mountain, following a story inspired by fairy tales:

     "Once upon a time, there was a mountain; a mountain so tall, it touched the sky. It was the Great Mountain of Wonders.

      An Old Pilgrim, who came from a land far away, was on his way to the summit.

      But a fallen Little Star had the exact same idea, for she thought she might return home, if she reached the top of the Mountain..."

This is how the tale of two peculiar characters begins.

Come set out on a poetic journey that will challenge your mind and ability!

  • Control the Old Pilgrim and the Little Star at the same time, with one controller

  • Solve unique and innovative puzzles

  • Discover wonderful environments inspired by fairy tales

                        Will you solve the riddles of the Great Mountain of Wonders?

                             

NB: A Dual Ascent is a graduation game made in one year by a team of 9 students.
