Cairn
Cairn is a realistic simulation that 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! Reach a summit never climbed before in this survival-climber from the creators of Furi and Haven. Climb anywhere and plan your route carefully, managing pitons and resources to survive unforgiving Mount Kami. Discover what Aava is willing to sacrifice to achieve the ascent of a lifetime.
- 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.
