About the Game

  • WOULD YOU CLIMB A MOUNTAIN TO FIND SOMEONE WHO WAS LOST?

Discover The Mountain of Wishes, a crumbling mountain where only the strongest can reach the top.

Once you reach the top, the Mountain will grant you your most cherished wish. Find out what this bald man's wish is.

You control a directionless man who left everything behind to climb a Mountain and find his life's purpose.

Be careful! Every step is precise, keep your balance like a drunk and rethink your steps.

Climbing can be a challenge if you are not careful and patient!

  • WHEN THE SKY FADES, MELODIES SOFTLY EMERGE GUIDING YOUR STEPS

  • HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT PURPOSE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR IN LIFE?

INTRODUCING:

  • Physics-based climbing and walking, with a focus on realistic balance.

  • Character balance mechanics — keep our (slightly tipsy) adventurer on his feet!

  • Dynamic day and night cycle, with real-time transitions accompanied by soothing soundtracks at each sunrise and sunset.

  • Independent use of legs and arms — coordination is everything here.

  • THE GUARDIAN BEAST OF THE MOUNTAIN AWAITS YOU!!!
