DESCENT

DESCENT

DESCENT is a downhill mountain-bike time trial. One mountain, . kilometres of hand-routed trail and metres of vertical drop: berms, rock gardens, root sections, jump lines and a final sprint. The bike is simulated for real — progressive fork and shock, per-wheel grip, load transfer, pumping and air control. Read the trail, carry speed through the berms, keep the wheels on dirt, and take down your personal best split by split. Chase the clock in Timed Runs or explore the hillside in Free Ride.

Key Features:

Everything in DESCENT is procedural: the terrain is eroded by simulated water, the trail is route-found down the fall line and carved into the hillside, the trees, the sky and the music are all generated at boot. There are no downloaded assets — the mountain is built from a seed, the same one for everyone, so every rider races the same hill.

Keyboard: W/S or arrows — pedal and brake, A/D — lean, Space — pump/jump, R — restart, Esc — pause. Gamepad is supported. On the descent, braking before a corner and leaning through it is faster than dragging the brakes. Pump the backsides of rollers to gain speed without pedalling. Crashes cost seconds, not the run — get back on and finish. The default track is the ranked one: only it feeds the leaderboard.
