You play as a lone climber ascending a vast tower in a dry, changing landscape. Along the way, a small creature called Ballast accompanies you, helping reveal clues and stir nature back to life.
Climbing is the central activity: control each hand to find holds, watch your stamina, and place pitons to secure your rope. Use the rope to rappel and swing across gaps as you work out routes through the tower.
Explore varied biomes and the remains of communities that once lived there. Letters, other found objects, wall art, and sounds held in shells offer glimpses of the tower’s past as you progress toward its summit.
Players who enjoy Jusant often highlight its calm pace, distinctive climbing controls, striking environments, and atmospheric music. Many appreciate exploring the abandoned tower and piecing together its history from letters and environmental clues. Some find the climb too easy or mechanically repetitive, and the brief adventure or fragmented storytelling does not work for everyone.
Jusant is a brand-new action-puzzle climbing game and a meditative journey to the top of a tall tower. Challenge yourself at your own pace, explore different paths, and unravel the secrets from a bygone civilization.
Master your climbing tools and watch your stamina meter to successfully navigate this mysterious and changing tower. As you go higher and hone your skills, you’ll have to figure out how best to use the tools at your disposal to get to where you want to go. Explore alternative paths to find clues about what happened here.
Play at your own pace. As you climb, you’ll come across breathtaking biomes full of flora and fauna, accompanied by a peaceful and atmospheric soundtrack. Brace yourself on arid, windy slopes, seek refuge in tunnels lit only by bioluminescence, and more.
Meet the mysterious Ballast. This creature will help guide you throughout your journey by waking nature along your path and helping to reveal clues that will help you piece together the tower’s past and reach the top.
