About
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.

Wer ein entspannendes und fast schon meditatives Spiel sucht, wird hier fündig. Wirklich ein Spiel zum runterkommen. Es gibt zwar hin und wieder auch mal kleinere Frustmomente, wenn Aava mehrfach abstürzt aber es gibt immer einen Ausweg. Man muss ihn nur finden.
Incroyable et surtout unique. Merci à ceux et celles qui ont participé à la conception de ce chef-d'œuvre.
美术和故事人物塑造的都很好 但是不好玩 太难了 每次好不容易爬到一个很好的节点就下雨下雨 太糟心了
An unexpected journey in a beautiful game.
While there are some aspects of the game that I chafed against, Cairn was a truly awesome game to play and once I got into it I just wanted to keep playing. Really, the only part I didn't really enjoy was the survival (food/thirst/temperature) parts, which while certainly a decent means of adding difficulty, it greatly improved my enjoyment after I turned them off with Assist Mode. Would highly highly recommend and I am very excited for the dlc.
Not a big fan of the cell shaded art style, but it mountain design is on another level. The climbing controls work well, especially after I found the setting to highlight the current limb being used. Don't know how high the peak is but I've struggled and overcome and have had a great time climbing.

great game. the whole experience is comforting. Even with the stress points of almost falling, its a pleasant, peaceful and slow journey. The climb had the task of repetitive actions, but has managed to beat it by making them relaxing, not tedious.
Dünyanın en güzel oyunu
"Play this game" they said. "It's very relaxing" they said. Suddenly I find my self climbing a 100m wall with only two anchoring autoscrews (or however they are called in English), being the second already 40 m beneath me, and Ava starting to be hipothermic, in starvation, about to fade and moving her left leg above her head when I was trying to move her arm. Very relaxing, you need to play this game. Whenever out of those situations, it is actually a very relaxing game with a beautiful atmosphere and a subtle but engaging story.
