Ascent Spirit

concept

Set in 1940, you’re a French legionnaire in one of the last military hot air balloon to oversee the Hanoi bay. Your assignment is to secure the area due to independence riots. You get separated from your ship and blown away by the winds. Unable to contact your base or control the balloon, you finally hit the peak of the Kawagarbo and get thrown overboard. Now equipped with two improvised ice axes your only chance of survival is to reach the top of this well-known sacred mountain and get back to your aircraft before the winds free it.
