Explore a world that evokes the dichotomy of light and darkness. With atmospheric music by Jim Guthrie (Sword and Sorcery, Nobody Saves The World and Below) added into the mix, it makes for an artistic journey to remember.

Journey into the forgotten world of Helix, where ancient powers awaken within you. Unlock and combine embodied abilities to unravel the mysteries of a lost civilization. Descend into a tale that will challenge your mind and soul, solving intricate puzzles as you ascend to the light of a new day.

Embark on a journey into the forgotten world of Helix: Descent N Ascent.

Helix: Descent N Ascent will participate in the February edition of Steam Next Fest, from 23 February to 2 March, and the demo is scheduled to launch in the 2nd week of February.

Key Features:

• In search of the truth: You awaken in a dull, dark, disembodied world. Though you're usually alone, you soon encounter another being who looks just like you, except he always seems to be at odds with you. Who is this doppelganger? Is he a friend or a foe?
• Puzzle your way out: Discover new powers as you progress through your adventure. Each one allows you to meaningfully interact with your surroundings and solve the many puzzles awaiting you.
• Combine your powers: Master the unique mix-and-match system that allows you to combine your powers while you explore the barren lands of Helix.
• A deep emotional journey: reflect on identity, solitude and relationships. Helix weaves each mystery and memory of a past existence with personal, cultural, and spiritual threads.
• An artistic journey: Experience a tale not told with words, but through stunning black-and-white artwork, living 2D scenery, evocative paintings, and powerful atmospheric music.
• Enchanting music: Helix was designed and developed with Jim Guthrie's incredible music in mind (and ear). The score takes the player to the edge of a dreamlike, serene, and strange universe.

Helix: Descent N Ascent is coming to PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch in Q2 2026.
