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.

J'adore l'ambiance.
非常有趣的类塞,融合型解谜,谜题非常有趣,充满巧思。 不过游戏后期的流程设计我觉得比较考验耐心,或者说有些不合理
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.

bug有点多,暂时不建议现在入手。打完两次结局但是发现有些地方没有办法进去,不知道是不是有地方没做好。 游戏性是不错的,但是bug会影响游戏进程特别是一些隐匿解密流程。 后续更新之后再更改评价。
Puzzles involving all Glyphs were satisfying brain-scratchers. The powers synergized in the quirkiest of ways. But I have zero idea how to 100% this game. The game is too cryptic at times; I often found solutions or secret paths by pure accident. I didn't find all pages so the overall story still makes little sense to me. If you don't care about that, then great! But the lingering feeling of failing to reach an arcade machine on a remote platform is going to bother me to no end. Guess I'll have to wait for walkthroughs and use them next time I play the game.
very chill gameplay great atmospheric monochromatic world and the puzzles are brilliant music is great too there's so much to discover
