Play as experienced mountaineer Aava facing her toughest challenge yet: Mount Kami, an impenetrable climb with a summit that has never before been reached.
As the player, you'll be doing what you can to ensure she survives the climb. Filling her limited inventory, planning her route, setting up camp and balancing on a razor's edge as wind, rain and snow threaten to make Aava lose her footing. It's a long, long way down...
Why is Aava doing this? Why are you, the player, doing this? Is it for the thrill; the sweaty palms, the adrenaline rush, the tingling sensation of being alive? Is it for the glory that comes with being the first, the only to survive the perilous climb? Or is it something else, something darker, deep within you that you just can't bear to acknowledge?
All I ever wanted was to touch eternity for an instant.
