About
Use momentum-based movement mechanics with precision, deploy a variety of tools and resources, and ascend as fast as you can.
Just don't lose your grip, there’s eternity below you.
Manage your inventory or become encumbered and fall to your death. Failure to grab what you need from your bag in time can spell disaster.
Through run-based meta-progression, you’ll discover and unlock varied augmentations.
Bolster your will to ascend.
You're not alone down here. Strange life flourishes far underground, and darker things haunt these halls. Something oozes from the depths– following you, growing angrier… and it won't let up.
Travel through different regions with unique threats and gameplay challenges during your attempted escape of the underground megastructure.
The deep dry storage of the Silos, the putrid sewers of the Pipeworks, the haunted piers of Habitation. Each area will require adaptation to new obstacles and denizens.

I may suck ass but it fun so it doesn't matter
I got straight teeth in the dark 10/10
White Knuckle is an INCREDIBLE game with insane polish and an amazing atmosphere that I cannot and will not ever recommend enough. This game is one of my favorites EVER with a really good soundtrack and so much replayability I don't think I'll be able to experience everything I want to in the next 1000 hours. To a hundred hours more, 17 bucks is a STEAL!

Лучший рогалик, в который я когда либо играл
game of the year
белые кулаки
Do Da Climb! The perks! The addiction! The Climbing! ! The Chasing! ITs ALL WONDERFULLLLL. The only complaint is that I fell because I grabbed an item instead of the ledge. It was going to be the greatest clutch of all time!
my hands have never been sweatier
this is the coolest stuff ever i think
Maybe one of the most fun indies of the last few years, genuinely treat yourself by playing this if you love the idea of a 'horror climber', the better you get at this game, the more it reveals itself to you -- and by the time you get to the current end, you look back and see how much of an incredibly varied experience you have just had. Please do *not* look up a ton about this, there are so so so many surprises in here. Play it. It's so worth it.
