It\u2019s a rock-climbing simulator set on the face of a lethally steep mountain, starring an alpinist who\u2019s determined to be the first person to reach its summit. Players can climb literally everywhere in <em>Cairn<\/em>, and the challenge lies in maintaining balance and stamina moment-to-moment. If you don\u2019t, the climber falls and dangles on their tether, expelling a scream of frustration. It\u2019s kind of like <em>GIRP<\/em>, but incredibly elegant and super hardcore.<\/p>\n<p><em>Cairn<\/em> is a \u201csurvival climber,\u201d according to The Game Bakers, and it includes moments of slow mundanity among the extreme physical exertion. As they ascend, players are able to establish a limited number of checkpoints by screwing pitons into the rock, and choosing where to place these is a critical aspect of the game\u2019s strategy.<\/p>\n<p>The Game Bakers debuted <em>Cairn<\/em> during the Summer Game Fest opening show. Its development team includes sound designer Lukas Julian Lentz, who worked on <em>Cocoon<\/em>, and audio director Martin Stig Andersen, whose previous projects include <em>Limbo,<\/em> <em>Inside <\/em>and <em>Control<\/em>. It&#8217;s currently scheduled for a 2025 release on PC and consoles.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em>Catch up on all of the news from Summer Game Fest 2024 <\/em><a data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/summer-game-fest\/\" data-ylk=\"slk:right here;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><em>right here<\/em><\/a><em>!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.engadget.com\/the-game-bakers-cairn-turns-mountain-climbing-into-a-boss-rush-220638117.html?src=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The team behind Furi\u00a0and Haven is back with something completely different and seriously intense: Cairn.
