Ascenders is a 2-4 player cooperative free-roam VR experience by BackLight in which players explore an island to uncover secrets about their civilization and solve puzzles to progress through a narrative-driven adventure.
Ascenders is a free-roam cooperative VR experience created by BackLight for 2 to 4 players. Players take on the role of survivors from the city of Oros who shipwreck on an uncharted island while searching for a way to save their civilization. The experience combines exploration, puzzle-solving, and cooperative gameplay as players investigate the island’s secrets and uncover the history of their own culture.
The narrative follows a progression system in which players’ avatars evolve from survivors to more powerful beings over the course of the experience. This transformation affects gameplay mechanics, granting players new abilities as they advance through the story. The experience is structured around cooperative challenges that require team communication and coordination to solve environmental puzzles and navigate the island environment.
Ascenders features a continuous traversal system without traditional VR teleportation mechanics, allowing players to move through the game world on foot. The playable area spans a 6×6 meter physical space. The experience supports PCVR graphics on PICO 4, Quest, and VIVE Focus headsets and incorporates bHaptics haptic feedback peripherals. Ascenders is available on the Oz Immersive platform as a turnkey solution or as software only.
