Found this from the TRTF Fantasy Land server, and I gotta say, this seems really interesting. I wish you the best of luck on this! :D

Hey everyone. I would like to emphasize that I like hearing all sorts of feedback good or bad. I kindly ask to please not pester me about release dates or try to pressure/rush me to release the game. I'm working very hard on this project, and I want to make sure this is something that I'm happy with releasing. To do that requires a lot of time. So please be patient and wait. I promise the game will be well worth the wait.

EDIT: I've been seeing a lot of comments on other game pages asking for an android port or other mobile ports. I want to make it clear so that my game page will not get flooded with these comments in the future that Ascent will NOT be ported to any mobile devices and I do not plan of making any ports in the future. For obvious reasons the game will not run on mobile devices. Making a port would take as much work if not more compared to making Ascent itself. Do not ask for any ports. All comments asking for a port will be removed on sight. I also ask to not attempt to make a mobile port as I believe that work could be used for more productive projects. Anyways thanks for reading and sorry if I came off as mean or rude.

Thanks,

-Liminal

-Description-

Did any of this ever happen? Is everything a lie? I feel the constant shift in reality. My mind is scrambled. I must leave this twisted and distorted world...

Life is but a butterfly's dream...

TRTF Ascent is a reimagining of a cancelled FNAF fan game called The Return to Freddy's 5 by Edmund Ahlstöm (formerly BFPfilms424 and PoniatorFilms). This game is rebuilt from the ground up with new ideas never seen in a TRTF game and aims to fully realize the potential of TRTF5. The story is rewritten but remains somewhat faithful to the original story. It features reimagined gameplay with full free roam, many floors to explore, puzzles to solve, and threats to avoid. Throughout your ascent through the dreadful Fazbear INC, your past will unravel as well as the events that lead to your journey.

This games inspiration comes from the TRTF series, the FNaF series, the Amnesia series, The cancelled P.T. Silent Hills, and Silent Hill 1 - 4.

-Features-

  • 11 main floors

  • A few secret floors

  • Free Roam gameplay

  • Many items to find

  • A full inventory system

  • A variety of threats with different mechanics

  • Light guided camera controls

  • Puzzles to solve

  • Many secrets to find

  • A backtracking system

  • A story to uncover

Small update. I have yet again replaced the GJ photos because they were outdated. The photos you see at the top is the style I have stuck with. I recreated some and added some new screenshots. Let me know what you guys think!

Hey everyone, I decided to revert the name back to The Return To Freddy's and scrapped the idea of replacing the FNAF characters. I feel like I have jumped the gun a bit in terms a changes and I feel like I should just stick to what I already planned.

The new model will have a more optimized poly count to work with UE5. The demo is still in the works and I'm working as hard as I can. I am very excited to get it out but I still need to make sure that I do it right so please remain patient. 2/2

A bit of an update regarding this game. I recently updated the graphics and redesigned the game to reflect a more realistic art style. I also have to redo the model of lockjaw since the one you see here on the page is very unoptimized. 1/3

Hey everyone, I have updated the gamejolt page a bit to reflect the current state of the game. I replaced the gameplay screenshots with more up to date ones. Let me know what you guys think. - Liminal

Hey everyone. I've been considering how I should release ascent to guys and I want to know what you guys think I should do. I was considering releasing it in early access where in each update I would add a new floor with new content.

Hey, everyone! Ascent has gotten a bit of a visual overhaul. I'm currently working on optimizing the lighting and textures so the game can run as smoothly as it can. I plan to make lumen lighting optional so people with lower end hardware can run it.

Small update. Progress is going smooth and I added a few gameplay screenshots to this page. I'm going to release a floor 1 demo somewhat soon so stay tuned for that. I'm terrible with release date predictions on my projects so I can't give an estimate.

Would you guys like to see some teaser games in the future? Some of them being remakes and some of them being original.
