ASCEND.exe is a retro-horror incremental about constructing a research facility one node at a time. Attach nodes of different styles and affinities to a central vertical shaft. Merge duplicate structures into something stronger. Keep the lights on. Keep the drill running. Keep going deeper than you meant to.
