About
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.

отличная игра , геймплей приятный , самое лучшее что я видел
beautiful artwork and variety of good puzzles. The story is beautifully philosophical, relating to concepts of matter, antimatter, cycles and infinity, etc. The sound effects are imaginative and rich, especially the stone walls.
I've been playing a couple hours at a time, a couple times a week since this came out (steam says 15 hours, on and offline combined), and a month later I can say: this is sweet. It's what you'd hope an indie art game would be. All the rough edges you'd expect, but interesting enough to be worth it underneath. It's not engrossing, but I love it every time I pick it up. Its idea of what a puzzle is bit different than a typical thinky game, and that's more than enough reason to play it.
I've been softlocked three times by the powers that be but the puzzles punch me in the face in a way that scores the game a positive review anyway. Gorgeous art and soundtrack, really clever and unique approach to level design. *Developers are very active patching bugs and issues* I had an issue where my robot gained an infinite stamina bar and couldn't be manually destroyed because I tried to sent it to a previous room and it somehow became god I guess? In one of the early rooms, the pressure plate glitched I think due to a reality warp timing thing and became non-interactable One of the puzzles with the grappling gun thing had an issue where if you missed an earlier section of the puzzle, you had to restart the entire thing All issues mentioned above were easily fixed by restarting the puzzle, which was for sure annoying, but not enough to tank my enjoyment of the game at all. The passion that went into this is clear from the moment you open it up, and it's absolutely worth a play for puzzle game fans.
J'adore l'ambiance.
