Cairn - On the Trail: Deep Water reveal trailer premieres
The developers at The Game Bakers have released the announcement trailer for "On the Trail," a series of free expansions for survival climbing game Cairn. The first installment is scheduled for launch this summer, presenting pro-climber Aava with new climbing locations and challenges.

Cairn Original Soundtrack is hosted on Bandcamp and Steam, composed by Martin Stig Andersen of Limbo and Inside, in collaboration with co-composers The Toxic Avenger and GILDAA.

Players are challenged with exploring Mount Kami by charting out a route and keeping balance. Chalk, finger tape, food and water require careful management to maintain Aava's health and stamina. Free Solo mode provides no rope, one life, and a deadly challenge.


Preorders have opened for the vinyl soundtrack, shipping from G4F Records. Cover illustration is by Mathieu Bablet.

Cairn is available for PC and PlayStation 5 consoles. The Windows PC edition is hosted on Steam, GOG.com and the Epic Games Store, verified for use with the Steam Deck.
