River Climbing

DEMO BUILD -- wishlist on Steam :)

In this game, you control your character using only a stick that you wave around to latch onto rocks, logs, and other obstacles, propelling yourself up a dangerous and winding river. Master the delicate art of hooking and pulling as you navigate swift currents, turbulent rapids, and treacherous whirlpools. Every latch gets you closer to the source of the river, where eternal glory awaits. But be careful—one slip of the stick can send you tumbling back downstream, undoing all your progress.

Enjoy:

• Punishing but rewarding gameplay that tests your patience and precision.
• Every rapid, boulder, and branch is placed with purpose to offer a unique challenge.
• Latch, pull, slip, and start again. Over and over.
• The satisfaction of mastering control over the stick to reach seemingly impossible heights.

But not:

• Hands or legs… your character depends solely on the stick to move.

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he is not the same man. - Heraclitus
