Cairn News

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for playing Cairn's demo, and sharing your screenshots, routes and feedback with us!

It is incredible to see you all enjoy the demo, and find new routes we hadn't been able to play ourselves.

We are still working on the full game, and patching the demo thanks to all of your feedback!

Here are the fixes that have been pushed in our last update:

• Fixed a low reproduction soft lock during the off belay transition
  
• Fixed a low reproduction soft lock if a tutorial triggered during a No Go Area teleportation
  
• Fixed a low reproduction soft lock if the barometer is opened during a No Go Area teleportation
  
• Fixed a bug on mantling in overhangs
  
• Fixed an input menu issue when other control devices are detected
  
• Minor localization fixes
  

Here are some quality of life updates:

• Use native resolution on all quality settings for SteamDeck (still not optimized, low performance on SteamDeck)
  
• Improve bivouac interaction visibility

In the demo, you play as Aava, attempting your first ascent before heading to mount Kami. After a warm-up in the climbing gym, you climb to the summit of mount Tenzen. You have full freedom to explore the small mountain ridge, learn how to climb, forage, and survive in a low-pressure environment. It packs many of the features of the full game.

To mark the occasion, we premiered a brand new gameplay trailer, check it out:
