Ascend to ZERO | MIX Summer Game Showcase 2025
3Ascend to ZERO is a sci-fi action roguelike set in a world devastated by a monster invasion. The protagonist, known as Chrono Child, is the last surviving human. As the world collapses, she loses all her comrades and, just before her death, escapes to the future via a time machine. During this escape, she gains the mysterious power to stop time.
Using this newfound ability, she travels back to the past to prevent the world’s destruction. As the game progresses, players will journey through various stages, fighting monsters, saving comrades, and uncovering hidden truths. Each saved comrade offers their unique powers to aid in the mission.
As the protagonist journeys deeper into the past, she faces the true antagonist. In a final battle, she must overcome the force that uses her own time-stop ability against her, and ultimately uncover the truth behind the world’s downfall.
Ascend to ZERO combines action driven by rapid inflation-based growth and a time manipulation-based story, offering a unique experience. The ultimate goal is to reveal the truth behind the world’s destruction and restore the future, but the journey is filled with countless challenges.
