Cairn is from The Game Bakers, ofFuriandHavenfame.

Wefirst saw itat the Day Of The Devs this year.

I was fresh off the lovelyJusantat the time.

A woman climbs a sheer cliff face in mountain climbing game Cairn.

Ah, another relaxing and whimsical French game about mountain climbing!

I was a fool.

Plus, it’s very pretty.

I already said this at the time, but it bears repeating: look how weird those legs are!

Look how bendy and awkwardly they contort.

That, to me, is the surefire sign of a considered and reactive simulation.

No graceful, contextual, restrictive animations for Cairn.

Youll also be carefully balancing your supplies, and using pitons as quick checkpoints as you make your ascent.

Youll be thinking about things like posture, effort and balance while climbing.

Each wall feels like a boss fight, says Steam.

Do…the mountains do the spinny FromSoft thing?

However, Im honestly so happy about more mountains to climb after Jusant that I dont mind.
