  • Climbing
  • Relaxing
  • Exploration

You climb a gigantic tower with one hand on each trigger, minding your stamina and driving in anchors. You can't die: if you slip, you're left dangling from the rope. What happened there is told through its inhabitants' letters, with no dialogue.

Why play it now

When you're in the mood for something calm and meditative that's over in about six hours, ideally with a controller.

Who it's for

For players who enjoy contemplative adventures and piecing together a lost civilisation through exploration.

When not to pick it

If you want a strong story: it's told in fragments and some reviews find it weak.
