A tense, precise parkour survival horror with permadeath, where every jump and encounter feels high-stakes in a dark, underground world.

What players say
Players describe White Knuckle as an addictive horror climbing game that mixes parkour with roguelite resource management. It is praised for its unique atmosphere and deep mechanics, though the lack of mid-run saves frustrates some, and players are split on the difficulty of certain areas like the Abyss.
