Cairn, an intense survival-climbing game from The Game Bakers, launches January 29, 2026 on Steam and PlayStation 5 for $30.
A typical climb in Cairn - and most rock climbing games for that matter - tasks you with managing rope, and the pitons you use to anchor it to a rock face. You add pitons as you climb so that in the event you slip, you only fall to your last piton rather than all the way to the ground. In Free Solo mode, you don't have that safety net, turning each climb into more of a roguelike run.
