After launching Haven in 2020, The Game Bakers unveiled their next title at Summer Game Fest 2024. It’s a climbing game called Cairn, possessing an animated art style but realistic mechanics. Check out the first gameplay trailer.
Like DON’T NOD’s Jusant, players will scale extensive structures, surmounting rock faces bit by bit. Placing notches and slowly making progress is the name of the game, with one mistake potentially setting back progress. It aims to be an intense experience with seemingly slower progress. Even as large mountains loom in the distance, it all begins with the first few climbs.
Cairn lacks a release date or platforms, and The Game Bakers didn’t reveal when we could expect more details. Nevertheless, given its commitment to making new experiences, it should be interesting to see how it pans out (especially with its narrative, given the studio’s pedigree with Haven and Furi). Stay tuned for updates in the coming months.
