Biocore Zero

Submitted to the Ascendant Game Jam – Category: Best Gore/Filth

In a shattered branch of the Ascendant universe, only one miracle of science remains: the last working Biocore — a device with the potential to save what's left of humanity. But salvation doesn’t come clean.

After decades of experimentation, the facility’s second endeavour — Project Spore — took a darker turn. One day, the spores awoke... and the transformation began. Flesh twisted, minds rotted, and everything once human became a grotesque echo of itself.

You are one of the last uninfected survivors, crawling through blood-soaked corridors and fungal horrors in search of the Biocore. You’re not just fighting to stay alive — you’re fighting to preserve the final ember of human civilisation.

This game was born from ambition, shaped by time, and finished with passion. While it's drenched in rot and ruin, it’s also a love letter to the universe of Ascendant.

I hope it both sickens and surprises you — in all the right ways.

Thank you for playing.
