About Helix: Descent N Ascent

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

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?

Discover new powers as you progress through your adventure. Each one of these powers allows you to meaningfully interact with your surroundings and solve the many puzzles awaiting you.

Master the unique mix-and-match system that allows you to combine these powers. Play in 25 distinctive ways, jumping between 3 levels of complexity while you explore the barren lands of Helix.

Beyond adventure, Helix invites you to reflect on identity, solitude and relationships. It weaves each mystery and reminiscence of a past existence with personal, cultural, and spiritual threads. Uncover overlooked details in a story worth revisiting.

Experience a tale not told with words, but through an immersive adventure enriched by stunning 4K black-and-white artwork, living 2D scenery, evocative paintings, and powerful atmospheric music. Drawing inspiration from 1980s black-and-white indie comics, 1990s manga, and 1970s Franco-Belgian comics, the monochrome imagery is symbolic, evoking the dichotomy of light and darkness.

With a speedhack: recommended, without a speedhack: not recommended. Completed the game 100%. Really visually stunning with the black and white visuals. Puzzles are actually really well crafted. Unfortunately the game is really let down by the fact that it does not respect the player's time. Animations are slow. Walk speed is slow. Everything is slow. If you play it I highly recommend doing what I did and use a speed hack to make the game run at 200-300% speed. That way you can experience the great puzzles with none of the molasses.

If you like feeling stupid after solving a puzzle, this is the game for you. And if you plan on going for 100% without any help, [spoiler]prepare your eyes and question everything[/spoiler]. On repeat playthroughs (and nearing the end of the main game) the game started feeling really slow, mainly due to the animation lengths for... everything. But if you plan on just playing through the main game once, then I do recommend playing this! [spoiler]Especially now, since most, if not all errors have been fixed from launch :D[/spoiler] The music and visuals were perfect for me to get immersed in the environment, although I might have a thing for any monochrome aesthetic.

Great puzzle game, fantastic artstyle, lots of things to explore and learn in this beautifully crafted world.. Brain will sometimes hurt.

Fun puzzle game. I didn't think the main puzzles were ever too hard, but definitely had to work at a few before I saw credits. I stopped before 100% because those more meta puzzles were too difficult for me
