Overview
- The Game Bakers’ climbing-focused survival game released January 29, 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Windows via Steam.
- Players move Aava’s limbs one at a time in a physics-driven system that rewards careful route finding and balance.
- Critics say the automatic limb selection can feel unintuitive or unpredictable, with a slower, fussier manual override available.
- Survival layers include managing hunger, thirst, warmth, stamina, and health, with weather considerations and limited bivouac camps to save, cook, rest, repair gear, and tape fingers.
- Self-drilling pitons act as mid-climb respite and safety, and difficulty options include a Free Solo permadeath mode, while reviews praise visuals and sound but note PS5 frame-rate drops and occasional minor PC hiccups.
