Cairn has won its first award!

Hi everyone,

We were at Gamescom last week - and we return with good news! Cairn won Best Game of Indie Arena Booth. Among 176 incredible indie games, that is no small feat.



It was the first time players could try Cairn, and it meant the world to us to win an award confirming that we're really working on something special.

And would you look at that turnout? Absolutely packed!



We are pumped to share the demo with you soon and hear what you have to say!

Until then,

Cairn's Demo: are we there yet?

We just revealed the first images of Cairn's demo during Gamescom Opening Night Live, and we're so excited to share the trailer with you all.

If you are headed to Gamescom, come get your hands on Cairn! We're in hall 10.2, and would love to meet you.

The demo features the very beginning of Cairn's story mode, and is meant to get you in shape for your big ascent of Mount Kami. You will learn how to climb, have free rein over a small mountain ridge, and experience the survival mechanics in a low-pressure environment.

The demo is available only at Gamescom for the time being, as there are still some things we want to tweak before we let you all climb. But it's coming soon, 2024 is all I'm allowed to say 👀

Give Cairn a wishlist to be the first to know when the demo is available! You can also join us on Discord if you want to ask us questions: discord.gg/thegamebakers

Introducing Cairn

Hi everyone!

It is finally time for us to let you in on what we've been cooking: our next game Cairn, a mountain ascent adventure with an intuitive climbing simulation.

Read the whole description here - also see the superstars who have joined our team to make this game!

We have created a new climbing simulation that gives you complete freedom to explore the mountain, read the rock face and decide on your route. Climbing is challenging, with difficult sections to navigate, and you will need to use your equipment and pitons wisely. Cairn’s story mode will take you on Aava’s journey, as she sets to conquer a summit no one has reached before, and you will decide what she’s ready to sacrifice to achieve the ascent.

We'll share more with you soon, but in the meantime wishlist Cairn and stay tuned by:

After years of secrecy, it feels really good for the whole team to finally be sharing this with you, and we can’t wait to hear your feedback - and show you more!

Until then,
The Game Bakers
