Cairn

Cairn is a climbing simulator where you guide Aava up Mount Kami, managing gear and stamina across a punishing ascent. You'll hammer pitons into rock faces, rope up for safety, and decide when to push forward versus when to rest. Resources are finite—run out of food or fuel at the wrong elevation and you're done. Weather shifts without warning, forcing route changes. The mountain itself is the antagonist: wind gusts can knock you off balance, and snow conditions determine which paths are viable. Aava's internal struggle plays out as you climb, revealing why she's risking everything for this summit. It's methodical rather than fast-paced, built around planning each pitch and living with consequences when plans fail.
