IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PLAYERS OF ARCANE ASCENT!

AN UNEXPECTED ERROR

Just popping in to report an unexpected error we’ve detected that’s directly affecting new players of Arcane Ascent. The way it occurs took us by surprise, but fortunately there’s a very simple workaround while we work on the patch.

The Problem and How to Avoid It:

What Happens?: If you play through the entire opening cutscene of the game, when you reach the screen with the witch’s cauldron, a freeze occurs that prevents you from proceeding to the next screen.
The solution: Interestingly, the error is completely avoided if you decide to skip the cutscene.

PLEASE SKIP THE CUTSCENE FOR NOW!
Although it pains us greatly to ask this of you, it’s the only guaranteed way to play without issues right now. We offer our sincere apologies on behalf of the entire team; we’re already working around the clock to fix this permanently.

A Huge Thank You to Our Community

It’s not all bad news! We want to thank everyone who has downloaded the game from the bottom of our hearts. You’ve been incredibly supportive during this launch, and it makes us immensely happy to know that so many players are enjoying the experience.

Although the game is no longer in Early Access, we won’t be stopping here. We’ll continue to bring you regular updates and new content. Our current priorities are as follows:

New and improved tutorial
Visual improvements
New effects
Improvements to narrative text.

We want you to play Arcane Ascent in the best way possible.

Mechanics Preview: Elemental Energy System and Tower Bosses

To make up for the inconvenience caused by the bug, we’d like to share a sneak peek at how one of the game’s core mechanics works.

This system will shape your gameplay in each tower based on your decisions:

Elemental Charge: Every time you enter an elemental gate, a charge of that element.
Boss Summon: When you reach the tower’s boss, the game will select the 2 elements you’ve visited most often.
The Showdown: A unique boss will be generated, representing the fusion of these two elements.
