Time to climb! Cairn is available now. Mount Kami awaits, unconquered. This is what you trained for: fight for every meter of the climb and rise to the challenge.

Guys, guys guys... That ending. Omg I need to say it, because it was powerful. Spoilers(?) . . . I did not expect this to be a game about what we internalize as a "good death." I know Aava's gotten a lot of flak for how she went out, but I think it was the only way it could have ended for her.

I love that Marco becomes a moral center in this game, with Aava (ostensibly the protag) largely existing for him to realize that sometimes living a quiet life is preferable to the pursuit of greatness at all costs. Meanwhile, Aava's commitment to dying on her own terms is beautiful in its own way.

The fact that you use AI in your advertisements makes me think worse of games on your platform like Cairn. I'm less interested in the game because you have it. I hope the devs know this.

So excited!! Been looking forward to this since the first trailer dropped -- that triumphant yell from the top of the mountain (albeit a miniature one haha)...So good!

Played the heck out of the demo, and thought I had a pretty decent grip on the mechanics. Got to the second checkpoint on Kami itself before I fell to my painful, drawn-out death because I did something stupid. 10/10 game.
