How it feels

A tense and punishing climb where every step demands precision while a sense of isolation and mystery surrounds you.

What players say

Players say it is a rage-inducing tower-climbing game where you shoot to jump instead of using a jump button. The mechanic is simple but deep, and many spend hours on short sections. There is a training mode with checkpoints, but using it disables achievements.
