You play as Aava, a professional climber attempting to reach the previously unclimbed summit of Mount Kami. Her ascent brings her into contact with other climbers and traces of the mountain’s history, while the story explores what she is willing to give up for her goal.
Climbing is controlled through individual hand and foot movements: read the rock face, choose holds, adjust Aava’s balance, and plan a route across walls that can be tackled in different ways. Pitons provide climbing anchors, and difficulty settings let you adjust the challenge.
Survival is part of the ascent. Gather supplies as you explore, manage food, water, medicine and climbing equipment, and rest at bivouacs where you can prepare food and tend to injuries. Discoveries along the mountain can provide resources and reveal more about its past.
In this selected sample, reviewers repeatedly enjoy the deliberate, limb-by-limb climbing, where route choices and careful movement make difficult sections feel tense and hard-won. They also appreciate how scavenging and survival needs encourage exploration, and describe the mountain’s visuals, sound, and quiet stretches as immersive. Many find the story and its themes memorable, though opinions about Aava and the narrative differ; some also report frustrating limb selection or control issues.
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!
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
