A Difficult Game About Climbing

A Difficult Game About Climbing is a climbing game… but not the kind of climbing you just do for the sake of it. Every time you lift your hand, you're signing a painful contract with yourself. It sounds simple: climb as high as possible. But after just a few minutes of using the mouse, you'll understand why it's often compared to legendary, grueling games like Getting Over It.

No stamina bar, no easy checkpoints, no one to hold your hand. Just you, your two hands, and a seemingly harmless cliff… until it's no longer harmless.

How to Play A Difficult Game About Climbing

Control your two hands

The game lets you control each hand separately. Every grip, every release depends entirely on your hand feel and mouse angle. It sounds like good control, but in reality, even a slight misstep will send your character tumbling down as if fate had thrown you.

Holding down a button doesn't guarantee a firm grip. You have to feel the grip point, just like you're actually climbing.

Physics Mechanism

The game operates on physics, meaning everything… makes sense, but it doesn't always make sense for you. There are climbs that seem secure, but if you use too much force, the entire stance will collapse. But after a while, when you start to understand how to swing, how to apply force, how to swing to gain momentum… you will find it captivating in a way that is very difficult to explain.

Every Surface is a Trap

Not every place is the same. The green patches may be more slippery than you think. The bushes that seem sturdy can cause you to slip at the most unexpected moment. The game doesn't say it out loud. You learn it yourself… through failure.

A Difficult Game About Climbing Tips and Tricks

• Don't always use too much force. The more you try to throw yourself higher, the more likely you are to ruin your stance. A gentler approach is often more effective.
• Two hands are more important than one. When you need to jump or push yourself, holding on with both hands gives you much more stability.
• Accept the possibility of falling. This game doesn't punish you with words, but with the height you lose. But it's the climbing itself that helps you improve.
• And most importantly: take a break. Not for the game, but because your hands will actually get tired.

A Difficult Game About Climbing isn't a game for everyone. It doesn't cater to everyone, doesn't explain much, and certainly isn't pleasant. But if you're patient enough to climb a little further, and then a little further… you'll understand why some people are willing to sit for hours just clinging to a rock ledge. And then, at some point, you'll realize: what you're climbing isn't just the mountain, but your own limits.
