Vain Ascendance is a fast-paced roguelite platformer where you ascend an ever-changing office tower. Use Valerie's dash attack to steal blood from enemies and take it home to make blood cocktails that upgrade your abilities, or drink it to heal in a pinch!
Valerie Malbec is a regular fashion obsessed vampire who wants to go on vacation. All that's stopping her is her sensitivity to sunlight, and rumour has it that a local corporation has a cure. Ascend 3 unique areas in the search for a cure to Valerie's sunlight sensitivity! The rooms you encounter are randomized each time, so don't get too comfortable! Use Valerie's fantastic mobility to advance through the platforming levels, and dash into enemies to steal blood. Remember to save some for upgrade cocktails for when you're back at home!
