About
From the creators of Furi and Haven comes a challenging survival-climbing game. Carefully plan your path and manage your limited resources as you climb the treacherous Mount Kami. Uncover Aava’s story and the lengths she’ll go to in her quest to reach the summit.
In Cairn, players can expect around 15 hours of gameplay focused on the thrill and peacefulness of mountain climbing as Aava embarks on a solo journey, leaving her life behind. Throughout the ascent, she’ll encounter other climbers and learn about the history of the mountain – including previous expeditions and the traces of an ancient, lost civilization. The story unfolds through nearly an hour of beautifully crafted cinematic cutscenes, brought to life by a cast of ten actors, and showcases Aava’s deep connection to the mountains.
Key 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 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 customize 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.
- Endless Replayability – In Expedition mode, choose Aava or Marco and attack different mountains your way: select your climbing style (alpine, free solo) and challenges to take on. Compare your performance with other climbers.
- 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.
