Start Your Ascent

Install & play

Download the Windows ZIP, extract it to a folder and run TCAscent.exe from the extracted files. Keep the game files together.

The preview is not code-signed. Windows may show a security warning. Only run a build you trust from this download page; the release checksum is provided so you can verify the archive.

Keep your progress

Saves live in your Windows user AppData folder, separate from the game directory. A new release can be extracted beside the old one; you do not need to delete your saves.

The run saves itself, even mid-fight. Continue your saga resumes at the start of the saved turn.

Bring your party

Choose Host a party on the title screen and share the friend code. Your friends choose Join. Up to four players take their turns at the same time.

Have everyone download the newest build before starting together.
