ASCENT is a first person mountain climbing game on the Oculus Rift (PC). The player attempts to ascend the highest peaks of each continent. Equipped with two ice axes, he challenges the breathtaking slopes of mountaineering legends such as the Eiger, Denali and Mount Everest. His ascents are captured by his GoPro and watched by millions on the web. Thanks to his sponsors and his fans, the player will be able to test himself on new mountains and upgrade his equipment.
