Cairn, a survival climbing game from The Game Bakers, is one we've had our
eye on for a while, so it was nice to get a release date for it during Sony's
State of Play stream on Wednesday. It's coming to PS5 and PC on November 5.
But you don't have to wait that long to try out Cairn ΓÇö a demo is now
available on PS5.

Looking like the more intense cousin of the enjoyably peaceful Jusant, you'll
be able to climb anywhere in Cairn. However, maintaining your balance and
stamina levels will be critical. Get too tired or make a wrong move and your
climber, Aava, will fall, letting out a scream of anguish as they dangle from
their tethered rope.

There's no UI feedback to speak of, so you'll need to pay attention to your
character's breathing and body language, as well as the controller
vibrations. The developers say they kept the controls simple, so it certainly
seems like the type of game that's easy to pick up, but difficult to master.
