Climbing on rough holds tears up your hands!
Avoid smearing on flat walls when you can and always keep your fingers bandaged with climbing tape.

Check out that Bivouac! A bivouac is where you camp while climbing or mountaineering!
In our alpinism game Cairn, in your bivouac you can cook, tape your hands, repair pitons, or rest (and save!)
It is wise to use each bivy you find! Who knows when you will find the next spot to set up camp…

Out now, Cairn is a beautiful but unforgiving survival-climbing game. "Climb anywhere and plan your route carefully, managing pitons and resources... a thrilling challenge for those eager to test themselves, but you can also adjust the difficulty to customize your experience."

Falling doesn’t need to be the end!
In our climbing game Cairn, you can enable Rewind so you can try a wall again. Or maybe just try something new!

It rightfully gives the vibe that Cairn is more than a climbing game, it's an adventure game.

Cairn embargo is up and I am so pleased to say the game is a triumph. Gorgeous, nerve-wracking, and I don't think I've ever heard a vocal performance like the one given by the protagonist. Just a coiled spring of determination and anger. Remarkable.
