During last night's Summer Game Fest , several indie titles were shown; one of the most interesting is Cairn by the French studio The Game Bakers, a climbing simulator from the authors of Furi and Haven, which will see us challenge a mountain range to reach the summit.

Cairn is a realistic mountain climbing adventure with an intuitive climbing simulation that allows players to climb naturally, moving their arms and legs seamlessly. Climbers are free to explore the mountain, read the rock face and decide their own route. Climbing is challenging, with sections that are difficult to overcome, and equipment and pitons must be used wisely. In the relentless high-altitude environment, climbers must manage their resources and physical condition and make the most of what they can find, whether by searching for food or water or setting up a bivouac.

The game will also offer us a multifaceted story, following Aava's journey up the deadly mountain. The girl will make unexpected encounters and discover the history and hidden treasures of the mountain. She will also have to decide what sacrifices she is willing to make to make her dream come true.

The game is expected in 2025; We leave you with the announcement trailer and a set of images.
