Yes. Terminal Ascent The Lift is an academic project and will be free to play for all users during development and testing phases.

Players can rewind their previous actions to undo mistakes. However, rewinding consumes Energy, meaning it must be used strategically. If Energy reaches zero, the run ends.

Anomalies are hazards that respond only when the player moves. Contact with an Anomaly triggers an automatic rewind and drains a significant amount of Energy, encouraging careful planning rather than rushed decision making.

The game uses adaptive difficulty. As players become more efficient, the game generates more complex floors. If players struggle, the game responds by offering slightly less demanding challenges.
