Cairn is more than just a climbing game. Its also a human adventure: the story of a determined alpinist and a reflection on mountaineering itself. On what drives people to push themselves beyond their limits to climb mountains.

Marco’s a talented climber, but he’s in it for the journey, not the destination. His carefree attitude is a bit frustrating to battle tested climber Aava. Does he have what it takes to survive the unforgiving Mt. Kami…?

Hyoie O’Grady is Marco in Cairn! He’s taking life one hold at a time and enjoying the climb. We sat down with him to learn about his process and what happens when Marco’s good vibes meet Aava’s determination.

We sat down with the lead of our game Cairn, Sophia Eleni, and dug deep into how she brought our passionate and determined protagonist Aava to life. How DO you capture the grit of climbers?

Aava’s climbed her entire life, determination driving her to the peak of every mountain she’s confronted. Now she faces the unbeaten Mt. Kami
There’s fellow mountainers, relics of lost civilizations, and stunning vistas to discover!
What route will take her to the top?
