Players are challenged to explore Mount Kami by charting out a route and keeping balance. Chalk, finger tape, food and water require careful management to maintain protagonist Aava's health and stamina. The latest trailer, debuted during Gamescom, offers a preview of free solo mode. The challenging play mode provides no rope, one life, and a deadly challenge.
Music for the game is composed by Martin Stig Andersen of Limbo and Inside, in collaboration with co-composers Camille Constantin Da Silva and GILDAA. The "Only The Mountain" trailer is streaming on The Game Bakers YouTube channel. Featuring music by The Toxic Avenger, the single is available for download via Steam, distributed by G4F Records.
