Announced: a vertical, turn-based roguelite survival, Ascenders: Beyond the Peak 🧗
From Ludogram and Twin Sails Interactive, a tactical climb‑and‑survive about roped teams tackling cursed peaks: characters are physically linked by a rope system, pull, anchor or risk sacrificing allies. Expect Lovecraftian threats, class roles (assaults, hook‑scouts, demolitions), lasting deaths/injuries and mental scars, camp upgrades, factions and route choices that shape the world. Every run forces hard decisions and is BRUTAL.
⚡️ Marathon patch 1.0.6 drops on April 14.

Mid‑season update aims to shake up tactics and make scouting actually matter.
