About Fated Retrace: Operation Ascension

Fated Retrace is a form of interference with Hyper Space Time that results in countless civilizations flourishing or being extinguished. We are in the midst of an epic battlefield, engaged in a kind of warfare that we don't understand. The truth is there is no beginning nor end; there is just now, and Humanity's fate lies in your hands.

Operation Ascension is a survivor-like game that tells the story of an American veteran who lapses into a coma on the battlefield. Upon awakening, he discovers that he has lost his memory and has become a digital ghost, trapped in the cyber realm.

  • You will start the game from the nightmares of an American soldier
  • In the nightmare, you will fight against enemies on the battlefield while searching for lost memories.
  • Trapped in the digital space, waves of viruses attempt to brainwash you, destroy your consciousness, and interrupt your awakening.
  • Explore a vast and mysterious base, gather intelligence, and find a way out before the formatting process complete.
  • Will you have the determination to discard your old shell and transition into an intangible entity, fully based on information and data, and prepare for ascension?
  • The day of escape has finally arrived! Are you ready? Resist the siege of electronic foes while distracting them by sabotaging the base, clear your path to survival, complete the true ascension, and regain freedom!

Each time you briefly awaken and try to escape your predicament, countless enemies will surround you. You must struggle to recall the past and search for intelligence before being formatted. Prepare as much as possible for the final ascension before losing consciousness, and hide your data in a reliable place. When you reclaim your past identity and memories, crack the base's codes, establish contact with the outside world, and break free from the physical constraints, you will ultimately achieve an extraordinary evolution of life form, regain freedom, and ascend to a higher existence!
