Latest Steam announcements

  • Steam Integration Fixed - v1.2.2 - 1 January 2025

    This is a tiny update to fix the Steam integration because achievements were not working. If you update the game and it says v1.2.2 on the title screen, you should have the latest version. With Love and Malice, Will-o-Works Team

  • Quick Patch for Vain Ascendance 1.2.1 - 20 June 2024

    Hello, this is a quick update because I was stupid and forgot some things. Here are the changes: -Turned Steam integration back on (we turned it off to make a convention mode) This means you can get achievements again -Control prompts in the tutorial now show only the device you are using -Player dash aiming keeps its direction if you release directional inputs (thanks GCC players!) -The Boss has a new attack -You now heal between areas -Fixed a bug that would have some people have no inputs bound on first startup of the game (if you had this please go to your appdata and delete the options file) -Game window centers itself on startup -Fixed a typo in the tutorial Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused! With Love and Malice, Will-o-Works Team

  • Update Notes for Vain Ascendance 1.2 - 14 June 2024

    Hello it has been a while. We've updated the game! This update is mainly focused on polish, there is no new content at this time. Here is the list of changes: Attempted fix for shader compilation stutters (this usually happens the first time you run the game, we have tried to force all shader compilation at startup, but have not verified it works) Corner dash correction now applied to downward-diagonal dashes (i.e. if you hit the floor/wall then pass the obstacle, you will move diagonal afterwards) New lighting in miniboss rooms New music track for the tutorial New decorations in Stella 1 room Menu UI visual overhaul Tutorial has popups that show the currently bound control for each action Kill all enemies rooms shows remaining enemy count on screen at all times Teri bank interface has control prompts New effect for bouncing off enemies New sounds for: parrying projectiles, hurt by elec…

  • Patch Notes Aug 13, 2022 (1.1.1) - 14 August 2022

    Thank you everyone for your support! We appreciate everyone who has played our game! We have a small bugfix patch today with mostly minor fixes. We've updated our engine to the latest version which seems to have increased the download size unfortunately, but it is not very large to begin with (about 30MB) so should not be a major problem. Patch Notes: Updated the game to Godot 3.5 Rollyboys have a longer cooldown when stunned Dashing through an enemy now adds a dash for up to two dashes at once Fixed some bugs where text would not translate properly Fixed a bug when loading options Fixed a bug where the language select UI didn't close correctly Added pitch variance on some sound effects

Short description

Vain Ascendance is a fast-paced roguelite platformer where you ascend an ever-changing office tower. Use Valerie's dash attack to steal blood from enemies and take it home to make blood cocktails that upgrade your abilities, or drink it to heal in a pinch!

About this game

The rooms you encounter are randomized each time, so don't get too comfortable! Use Valerie's fantastic mobility to advance through the platforming levels, and dash into enemies to steal blood. Remember to save some for upgrade cocktails for when you're back at home!

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 26, 2026 to Sep 26, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $3.99
  • Highest observed: $3.99

Vain Ascendance's USD price history spans from Sep 26, 2026 to Sep 26, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $3.99, the highest is $3.99, and the first visible tracked price is $3.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Vain Ascendance's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $3.99, from Sep 26, 2026 through Sep 26, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $3.99. The latest run records $3.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $3.99
  • Current list price: $3.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Vain Ascendance at $3.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
