The Playtest, which is happening on Steam, will give you a chance to try a small section of the game while they work to get it released in 2026.

Ascend To Zero
Ascend To Zero is a roguelike action game centered around the ability to stop time. Players travel back to the past through a dimensional portal to save their comrades and prevent the destruction of the world, which has been devastated by an alien invasion. The game progresses as players return to the past and engage in battles within a limited timeframe to rapidly level up their avatars and complete missions. While weapons attack automatically once they are equipped, players can freely aim their attacks. When the time limit runs out, they are returned to a ruined underground bunker in the present, where their level and certain equipment are reset.
During battles, players must strategically utilize time-stopping abilities, dashes to evade enemy attacks, and various skills to complete missions within the given time. Even if their health reaches zero, they can consume a portion of their remaining time limit to revive. Defeating special monsters such as bosses grants passive abilities, while in-game currency earned through combat can be used in shops to purchase weapons, armor, and devices to enhance their avatars. Additionally, rescuing past comrades and bringing them back to the underground bunker in the present unlocks new features.
