It was created in RPG Maker by a user named "Phenix". The game describes itself as a hip hop-themed science fiction 2D role-playing game. Plot and gameplay. In the year 2010, Kanye West takes out his garbage before tripping and falling into a portal, which brings him to the year 3030. The United States has become a dystopian society ruled by a clone of rapper Lil B  claiming himself to be a god. A prophecy exists, claiming that Kanye West would return one day and overthrow Lil B. With this knowledge, Kanye West travels this dystopian society and teams up with other musicians such as Jay-Z, 2Pac and RZA to fight to free America. Along the way they are challenged by other musicians such as Eminem, Nicki Minaj, De La Soul and LL Cool J. Upon completing the game Kanye West declares himself the one true "based" God and returns to 2010 where he puts away the trash. The game was played similarly to the "Pokémon  series. Each rapper has their own special moves and abilities based on in-jokes within the rapping community. The player is challenged by different rappers wandering the streets and must defeat them to level up and progress in the game. Ascensionism. In 2015, a pastebin article revealed that if the player typed in the word Ascend" into a dialog box with a NPC, the player would be taken to a secret section of the game. In this secret section, the game would claim that the rest of the game's contents was a front for this area which it claimed  is the real game. At one point during this secret stage, the player would enter a room with a QR code which had to be screen captured together. This QR code would take the player to a dead site, which allegedly was an IP logger, and it would subsequently pull the IP of the player and allegedly send it to a cult. After inputting the needed commands at various terminals, the player would then be asked to give the game their private info and was instructed to wait to be contacted. This was believed by some to be connected to  a group called Ascensionism that entered urban legend around the same time as the game being released. Ascensionism is allegedly a cult that believes in reincarnation and was hoping to recruit more members with the game Kanye Quest. They also are rumored to have connections with record labels such as "Ascensionism Records". Another game would be connected to a group called Calypso in which the player completes tasks around a house while voicemails intended for the group played in the background. It is generally assumed these voicemails were taken directly off the hotline which was referenced in the original game . However, there was little else in terms of information about the Ascensionists in Calypso. It is generally presumed that this is all part of an abandoned alternate reality game, or ARG.
