The developers at The Game Bakers have unveiled a fresh trailer showcasing their latest project, an exhilarating survival-climbing adventure titled Cairn, and they’re excited to announce the addition of a brand new gameplay mode called “Free Solo.
According to the statement, Free Solo mode in the game truly reflects its title by placing players directly on the climbing wall without any pitons or ropes. Any fall could be fatal, resulting in a restart from the beginning. Each move made on the wall and every meter climbed creates intense tension throughout the lengthy ascent towards the summit. With a backpack containing only essential items, survival and resource management become even more difficult. This mode is designed for players seeking a challenge and an immersive experience of the high-stakes tension that real free solo climbers encounter on their wall climbs.
Here is an overview of the game, via The Game Bakers:
About
Traverse uncharted peaks in this creation by the makers of Furi and Haven, an extreme climbing game. Decide your path wisely, scale walls at will, and strategize the placement of pitons and limited resources to endure the harsh conditions of Mount Kami. Uncover the lengths Aava is prepared to go for the climb of a lifetime.
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.
