BrokenLore: ASCEND is a first-person psychological horror centered on the final, desperate climb of REN and YUI, two famous Japanese rooftop climbers obsessed with surpassing their limits and feeding their fame. Their channel, SKYLIMIT, has turned them into icons among fans of illegal urban climbing, leading them to the Elysium Tower — the tallest skyscraper in Japan — for a nighttime ascent meant to become “the ultimate video.”

As they rise higher, the ascent turns into a nightmare. A supernatural entity, the Rokurokubi, begins to manifest — a woman with a serpent-like neck and an ornate mask, haunting every shadow of the tower. But her presence is more than just supernatural terror: she embodies their deepest fears — the terror of being forgotten, of becoming ordinary, invisible, irrelevant.
