Cairn’s free DLC On The Trail is coming October 29th, 2026! Three new climbing areas are calling! Climb as Aava or Marco as you try to pass the challenges laid by a legendary climber in Deep Water Solo!

Hi to our new climbers on Nintendo Switch 2! Earlier this month we pushed a fix targeting some minor bumps in the trail to keep your ascent smooth. We’re excited to bring the full game to you soon! A mountain 30 times bigger than the demo and an adventure you’ll never forget. See you next year!

It’s the last day of the community run route setting contest! Be sure to get in your submissions for the most beautiful, brutal, or creative routes before its over. Wouldn’t want to miss out on a Cairn Route Tshirt!

Lets go Audrey!!!

Sharing experience and knowledge on self-publishing with Audrey Leprince from @thegamebakers.com, the studio behind the recent hit Cairn, along with David Rabineau from @capital-games.bsky.social / @homoludens.games ! Lots of studios in the room, a sign of how much this topic matters.

Lamu is the climbing gym of your dreams! Filled with the hardest problems, its a great way to cut your teeth on the new climbing challenges coming in Cairn’s free DLC, On The Trail

We’re collabing with the community run Cairn Catalogue for a route setting competition! The competition starts now, and we’re hyped to see your route submissions in 3 categories: Brutal, Beautiful, and Creative. The winners, chosen by popular vote, will get a Your Kami Ascent T-Shirt!

Gear up! Getting ready for expeditions in Cairn’s free upcoming DLC, On The Trail, is easy. Pick the resources (and bag size) for your next climb and you’re good to go! Try some novel combinations of kit, or go in with nothing to lose!

Experience the adventure of a lifetime! Pro climber Aava is after her white whale; the never before summited Mt. Kami. On the journey up, she’ll meet people and unravel the secrets of the mountain, and of herself. Play Cairn in LudoNarraCon right now! @fellowtraveller.games

Our directors sat down to talk Cairn!

Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences@official-aias.bsky.social

How does a game simulate the intensity of a high-level mountain climbing experience? @iocat.bsky.social chats with @thegamebakers.com's Audrey Leprince and Emeric Thoa about their latest release, Cairn, the history of their studio, designing big choices with no right or wrong answers, and more!

Damn they found out about Pepsiman...

Jacob McCourt@jacob.bsky.social

Can you guess how Pepsiman and Cairn are connected? @itsmike.town @mrkstep.bsky.social @gnoisegenerator.bsky.social @djstormageddon.com @klimovauthor.bsky.social @baronj67.bsky.social @aspecificegg.bsky.social

On The Trail is the toughest training! In preparation for their ascent up Mt. Kami, Aava and Marco took on an epic set of challenge routes set by legendary Troglodyte climber Otto Mondo. But what many consider a lifetime achievement, Mondo considers a light warmup!

Hyoie O’Grady blew us away with his range and sincerity as Marco. Its difficult to capture both youthful exuberance and beyond-your-years wisdom; and even harder to crack Aava’s shell! Not only did Marco reach her, Hyoie won our heart!

Everyone say "thank you space lesbians"

A lone climber attempts the climb of her career, and the ascent of her lifetime! What drives her? And will it be enough to bring her to the top? Our award winning adventure game Cairn and Aava’s epic story will be in LudoNarraCon next month! @fellowtraveller.games

We’re so grateful for Sophia Eleni’s standout performance. Aava isn’t an easy character to love, and Sophia portrayed the obsessive, closed off and thorny climber brilliantly, making her feel achingly relatable and deeply human. No small feat, like climbing Kami!

YOU can help Cairn win GOTY! We’ve been nominated for Best Indie Game (Self Published) in the Golden Joystick Awards! We poured our souls into this climb, and its an honor to be standing among indie giants! You can vote for us below:

On the Trail is coming, save your energy! You won’t need to survive in the new areas like you did on Mt. Kami. Instead, keep track of your energy! Risky moves and falls will be especially draining, be careful! If you run out of energy, you’ll start over!

Cairn’s free DLC On The Trail is coming October 29th, 2026! Three new climbing areas are calling! Climb as Aava or Marco as you try to pass the challenges laid by a legendary climber in Deep Water Solo!
