Inside Ascend to Zero
What it is
Have you ever wondered what it's like to stop the time? Ascend to ZERO is a time-control roguelike, in which you can use your special ability to stop the time itself and efficiently fight your way through the top. Freeze the time to dodge opponents' attacks using your unique ability, and always hold a higher ground for the combat. However, don't forget that the time allowed for you is confined.
The premise
Do you have a past you wish to change?
In the distant future, humanity stands on the brink of extinction due to an alien invasion. As a last hope, the surviving remnants send the protagonist, the "Chrono Child" into the future inside a time capsule. With the ability to stop time, you can travel back to the past for a limited duration and alter key events. Each time you successfully change a moment in the past, precious people return to your reality upon your return.
