Reviews

“The best game I played at Gamescom (...) another example of an indie game with a core central mechanic that makes it agonisingly compelling”
PC Gamer

“It wants to emulate the feeling, the stress, the tension, the relief, and the reward of real rock climbing — and having only climbed the first summit, we’re glad to report it does just that and then some.”

About This Demo

This is the demo version of our survival-climber Cairn. You play as Aava attempting your first ascent before heading to mount Kami. After a warm-up in the climbing gym, you climb to the summit of mount Tenzen. You have full freedom to explore the small mountain ridge, learn how to climb, forage, and survive in a low-pressure environment.

This is the very beginning of the game, about an hour of gameplay. This demo packs many of the features of the full game, including freedom to climb anywhere, challenges to overcome, and secrets to discover! The demo is a small part of the final game.

REALISTIC CLIMBING SIMULATION

Cairn’s realistic simulation allows intuitive climbing: find the best holds and place your hands and feet seamlessly with simple controls. Adapt your posture, effort and balance —if you're not careful, you will fall!

OPEN YOUR OWN ROUTE

You are free to climb anywhere. Explore the mountain, read the rock face from the ground and plan your route carefully to reach the top. Solve problems while on the wall to navigate difficult sections. You can climb on anything, so choose your path wisely!

CLIMBING IS A FIGHT

Climbing is challenging: each wall feels like a boss fight. A thrilling challenge for those eager to test themselves.

SURVIVE THE DEADLY MOUNTAIN

Manage your resources to survive during the long ascent: pitons, chalk, finger tape... but also food, water and medicine. Set up bivouacs and explore the mountain to find resources to reach the summit.

AWARD-WINNING INDIE TEAM

An unforgettable experience from the makers of Furi and Haven, with music and sound design by the team behind Limbo, Inside, Control and Cocoon, and art and story by renowned comic-book artist Mathieu Bablet.
