Frequently Asked Questions

Ascended is a fantasy RPG where your real-world workouts and healthy habits permanently progress your character, story, and place in a shared world. Think: a real RPG powered by real effort, not streaks, not reminders, not guilt.

It’s a game first. Fitness is how you play it. If traditional fitness apps feel preachy or exhausting but RPG progression lights up your brain, Ascended will make immediate sense.

Most fitness apps try to motivate you with reminders and pressure. Ascended doesn’t care if you’re “consistent.” Every bit of effort counts, and nothing is lost if you step away. Progress only moves forward.

Not at all. Ascended is built for people starting from zero, getting back into it, or just trying to feel better in their bodies. The game adapts to you, not the other way around.

Then you’re exactly who we built this for. Missing days doesn’t reset anything. Your character waits for you. No guilt. No shame. Just pick it back up when you’re ready.

Not in a “race everyone else” way. Your progress is yours. There are optional community and social features, but you’ll never be punished or left behind for playing at your own pace.

Yes. We have a working app and are wrapping up our playtests for iOS in Test Flight. The Kickstarter is about funding the Android version and expanding and polishing what’s already being built.

We’re a small, focused team with backgrounds in product, design, and game development. We work with specialized artists and contractors and keep things intentionally lean.

Backers get early access, exclusive cosmetic rewards, founder recognition, and a real voice in how Ascended evolves. Higher tiers unlock deeper perks and long-term benefits.

Ascended will have paid access options after launch. Backing the Kickstarter is the best way to get in early and lock in the most value.

Yes. Ascended is designed as an ongoing experience. We release new storylines, characters, and expanded content in seasonal updates, and the subscription helps cover the real costs of building and supporting a living game over time. This include servers, content, updates, and improvements. That said, we’re building it to earn its place in your life. Each season adds meaningful progression and story, not busywork. Kickstarter backers receive preferred pricing and long-term perks for supporting Ascended early.

Backers will be the first to play. We’re planning a spring launch on iOS, with Android coming in early summer, and we’ll keep sharing progress and updates as we get closer.

We’re starting on mobile, with plans to expand as we grow and as funding allows.

No. Your character and progression are tied to your account, not your phone.
