A THUG'S ASCENSION
A dark crime drama by Moonwalk Games, out now on Steam
Money creates divide. Power creates divide. Ideologies create divide. A Thug's Ascension is the story of divide, and the chaos and death around it. It's the story of two people on opposite sides of this divide, of their rage that they hook on to like a hard drug, of their fractured concepts of justice and injustice, and of the fears and trauma that they carry deep inside their hearts. These are the two sides of a war for the nation's greatest city. There will be no winners, but for those who survive, they're Maratha's final hope of saving itself from fading off the map forever.

WELCOME TO THE STORY
Step into the dying metropolis of Maratha as the feared mercenary ‘Chief', and join his gang of outlaws in the war against billionaire industrialist Dr. Sarkar and his violent attempts to rebuild the nation's greatest city in his own image. This is a dark, grounded, character-driven crime drama, exploring the dreams, chaos, and mental turmoil of two broken men with clashing ideologies, brought up on opposite sides of the great bridge. Written, directed, and shot by Adi Chandra as his entertainment debut, this is a story about loss, rage, community, and morality.

In this epic four-hour-long campaign combining intense first-person shooter gameplay with deeply emotional storytelling, you explore, shoot, drive, and wreck your way through the slow-paced, dialogue-driven story delivered through the 47,000-word-long screenplay.
