Cairn invites players to conquer an uncharted peak in a survival-oriented mountaineering experience from the creators of Furi and Haven. Climbing Mount Kami requires careful route planning, constant use of pitons, and smart resource management to withstand the mountain's unpredictable conditions. Every move matters, and every decision affects how far the climber will reach the distant peak.
The story follows Aav, a talented mountaineer driven by a deep personal purpose. The climb takes her through stunning landscapes and introduces her to unexpected companions. Each of them adds her own voice, which shapes her understanding of the climb and its history. As the mountain progresses, it reveals fragments of its past, offering insight into earlier attempts and forgotten histories. Aava's resolve is tested as she moves forward, revealing the sacrifices and determination required to achieve her quest for the top.
Cairn encourages exploration by allowing players to choose their own path up the mountain. Examining the rock from the ground provides clues for choosing a route that suits each player's approach. Some paths offer steady progress, while others present difficult holds and narrow ledges. With multiple ways to climb, the mountain becomes a place of discovery, where each decision shapes a personal route to the summit.
