How it feels
A tense, methodical climb where every handhold demands perfect timing and mistakes feel brutally costly, yet the game maintains an oddly dark humorous and surreal tone.

What players say
Players describe this as a brutally difficult climbing game that lives up to its name. Reviews consistently mention that lag spikes can cause the character's hands to let go, which is especially punishing near the end of a run. The game is compared to Getting Over It, with some finding it harder and others finding it slightly easier, but most agree it requires both patience and physical endurance.
