Jusant News

It’s finally time to climb! Jusant, our action-adventure puzzle climbing game, is out right now!

We answered all your burning questions about Jusant in our FAQ here.

In a world devoid of water sits a tower so tall that it stretches beyond the clouds. What is this structure? What lies at the top? What happened to all the people? There's only one way to find out – climb.

The game’s atmospheric original soundtrack, composed by Guillaume Ferran, is available to buy with the game in the Soundtrack Bundle or on its own. You can get it on your favorite digital platforms too – including Spotify and Apple Music amongst others – courtesy of Kid Katana.

• For PC players using mouse & keyboard:
  

In version 1.02.1431188, it is possible to rebind the input meant to go back to the game after reading any letter. But even if players change that key, they still need to use the default one (Backspace) to be able to move on. If no input works properly, players must use right-click on a mouse.

• For PC players with ultrawide monitors:
  

Currently on 21:9 screens, the original image becomes cropped. We’re working on a fix for this that’ll come at the end of November, but until then you can fix it locally by following these instructions:
- Follow this path on your computer: %localappdata%/ASC/Saved/Config/Windows/
- Open the file Engine.ini (you can use Notepad, for instance)
- Add the following directly in the file:

[/script/asc.asclocalplayer]
MaxAspectRatio=1.7777777777777

• Graphics (PC):
  

On the first launch of Jusant, the game may automatically recognize your graphics settings to be lower than they actually are. While we work on a fix, you can manually set your graphics a level higher and see how you go.

Jusant is playable with mouse and keyboard but the controls were designed with controllers in mind, and we strongly recommend using a controller for the best experience.





No, your progress will reset.
