Curiosity Launched Today for Steam and Steam Deck

Climb to the top with curiosity

DarkBear Studios has officially released its debut game Curiosity, which is now available on Steam and Steam Deck. This challenging yet heartfelt climbing adventure combines the frustration and thrill of rage-inducing platforming with a cinematic story that explores perseverance, mystery and emotional discovery.

In Curiosity, players take on the role of a small but determined cat on a dangerous climb home. Each jump requires patience, skill and precision as a single mistake can send you back down. With nine lives to lose and real consequences for failure, the journey becomes a test of both reflexes and resilience. Along the way, players uncover hidden knowledge, discover new areas, and experience a world full of mystery and quiet beauty.

Inspired by games like Only Up and Getting Over It, Curiosity reimagines the vertical climbing genre by introducing a story-driven experience into a hand-crafted world. Players will encounter traditional platformer features such as collectibles, checkpoints, and hidden shortcuts, creating a balance between challenge and exploration. Every fall and recovery adds weight to the narrative, making every small success count.

“We wanted to make something familiar to players who love these brutal climbing games, but with a soul and story that makes the effort worth it.” – said Hunt. “Curiosity comes with persistence, discovery, and the emotional highs and lows that come with both, and we can’t wait for players and streamers to experience it together.”

Now available on Steam and Steam Deck, Curiosity challenges players to rise higher, fall harder, and rise stronger, revealing what's truly at the top.
