It's time to climb in Cairn's demo! 🏔️

Hi there, 

You know how they say good things come to those who wait? Well, thank you for your patience, but wait no more: go and play Cairn's demo right now 🧗

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:

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,
Lauranne
