Cairn is a new climbing-focused adventure from The Game Bakers, blending careful route choice with inventory-based resource management. You play as a woman recovering from injury, accompanied by a small robotic companion, as you pick your way up an enigmatic mountain.

  • Developed by The Game Bakers, the studio behind Haven and Furi—Cairn takes a quieter, more reflective approach to ascent-focused games.
  • Gameplay centers on selecting paths up the mountain and managing a backpack of supplies rather than fast-paced action.
  • The tone leans toward somber and mysterious, hinting at deeper secrets beyond simply summiting the peak.
  • Companion mechanics feature a scuttling robo buddy that accompanies the climber and adds character to the trek.
  • Cairn is available now on Steam, letting players start exploring its slopes immediately.
