Climbing a mountain is not for the faint of heart. The allure of conquering some of the world's most daunting peaks can be intoxicating, but it comes with a steep price. Cairn, the latest game from developer Rawmen Media, puts you in the shoes of Aava, a champion climber driven by an unyielding obsession to scale Mount Kami. This is not just a game about climbing; it's a survival experience that will test your resolve and push you to the limits.
As you navigate Aava through treacherous terrain, you'll need to carefully manage her every move, making split-second decisions to avoid catastrophe. The sense of danger is palpable, with even the slightest misstep potentially sealing her fate. You'll have to ration resources, scavenge for food and water, and meticulously tend to her injuries, all while trying to maintain a grip on sanity.
The game's tension is expertly crafted, with moments of sheer terror and heart-stopping excitement that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I found myself gasping in relief whenever Aava stumbled into a safe haven, only to be yanked back down into the depths of despair when she fell off the mountain once more.
But Cairn is not just about thrills and spills; it's also a thought-provoking exploration of obsession and determination. As you progress through the game, you'll begin to question Aava's motivations and your own reasons for playing this grueling experience. Will you turn on assists or suffer alongside her? The choice is yours, but be warned: this game can be brutal.
The ending will leave you breathless and bereft. I won't spoil it here, but suffice it to say that the cost of Aava's ambition is higher than she ever could have imagined. It's a powerful commentary on what drives us to push ourselves beyond the limits of human endurance.
Cairn is a masterclass in game design, weaving together an intricate narrative with heart-stopping action and gut-wrenching emotional depth. If you're ready to confront your own fears and take on one of the most daunting challenges imaginable, this is not a game to be missed.

it's like they really put themselves in our shoes as players... i was literally holding my breath for Aava 
and then she falls off the mountain 
I get why she wanted to climb the mountain so badly, but sometimes I think we take things too far? 
the game is SO intense and it's like you're right there with her, feeling every bit of pain and fear 
it's like, what would I do in that situation? 
would I turn on assists or suffer with her? 
It's like, you're literally put in their shoes and have to make those tough decisions, manage resources, and deal with the mental strain. And the ending, man... it's just so intense. I loved how it made me think about why I'm playing this game and what drives people to push themselves that hard. It's like, are you in it for the thrill or is there something more going on? 
. I mean, 90% of the time, I was on the edge of my seat, screaming at Aava to just turn around and head back down 
. But then there are these moments where you're like "girl, what are you even doing?!" 
. It's a super emotional rollercoaster ride, but in a good way, I guess? The theme of obsession is really thought-provoking too - it made me think about my own motivations and why I do the things I do 
. The way they built up this sense of tension and danger was insane – every decision felt so crucial, like one wrong move would be game over 
.
. If you're looking for a game that'll test your limits and make you think about what drives us, Cairn is definitely the way to go 
.
i mean who plays games at 10pm and gets up at 6am for a hike? sounds like my dream life tbh 
but at the same time i loved how it made me think about why we push ourselves so hard and what drives us to take risks 
and that ending tho!!! 
. It makes me think, what would I do if I was in Aava's shoes? Would I stick to my goals or try to find a way out? 
. Guess I'll just have to keep playing until the end! 
️. But then again, maybe that's just me being a scaredy-cat? 
. And that ending? UGH I won't lie I'm still reeling from it
