About the Game

Hatch is a PS1 / N64 style first person climbing game. Unforgivingly challenging and heavily focused on atmosphere, it's meant to mimic the feeling you get when rock climbing - frustrating, but highly rewarding when you reach the top.

There's more to it than the mechanics however; so be patient, careful, and enjoy the views on your way to the top!
