If you’re a fan of extreme sports, particularly extreme mountain climbing, then The Game Bakers has the perfect game for you: Cairn. In Cairn, now available on PC via Steam, GoG, and EGS, players take on the role of Aava, an intrepid mountain climber, eager to reach the summit. However, this isn’t your mother’s extreme sports game: Players are actively punished for careless planning. Those who go a more conservative route will be rewarded for the time spent setting up the perfect plan.
The launch trailer showcases some gorgeous graphics and gameplay action. You’ll see Aava huddling in the cold, working carefully to get up vertical surfaces sure to defeat all but the most careful climbers.
Cairn Features
- 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!
- The Ascent of a Lifetime: As a pro climber, Aava, you embark on the ascent of Mount Kami, a summit that has never been reached. Along the journey, meet unexpected companions and hear from those left on the ground. Discover the mountain’s history and decide what Aava is willing to sacrifice to achieve her dream.
- 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, but you can also adjust the difficulty to customise your experience.
- 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.
