About the Game

Kaia's Ascent is a first-person speedrunning platforming game all about running, climbing and charge-punching your way out of the deep, dark Abyss.

  • Fast-paced, fluid, freestyle movement mechanics that'll test your reflexes and platforming abilities, and have you coming back again and again to achieve faster times.

  • Dozens of challenging levels, each with record times to beat and hidden collectibles to find.

  • Story cutscenes, conversations, and data logs that flesh out the characters and their surrounding world.

  • A retro PSX art style inspired by late 90's-early 2000's classics.

  • An original soundtrack of old-school-inspired drum and bass/jungle music.

You play as Kaia, a brash fox girl stranded deep underground in the Abyss, determined to get out with the help of a mysterious guardian and a power fist that sends you rocketing through the air.

Standing in your way is Dark Matter, the terrifying, insatiable hivemind plaguing the Abyss. It's out to get you, whether via deadly lasers or its matter plaguing the landscapes.

Are you tough enough to escape the deep, harrowing Abyss, and take down a terrifying alien threat in the process? And just who exactly is that mysterious guardian aiding you?
