About the Game

Under the gaze of a silent, unknowable presence, a lone man climbs.

A mountain. A burden. An endless ascent.

No voice calls from the summit.

No promise waits above the clouds.

Only the weight you refuse to abandon.

In this minimalist symbolic experience, you guide a solitary wanderer as he pushes a massive rock endlessly uphill beneath the watch of something ancient and mysterious.

The controls are simple: press a single button to push forward.

Push.

Fall.

Repeat.

Key Features

– One-button gameplay

– Minimalist symbolic art style

– Atmospheric and meditative experience

– Endless ascent with no final destination

The climb never ends.

Maybe that was never the point.
