How it plays
Platforming is the primary mechanic; the entire gameplay revolves around climbing from hell to the summit across diverse worlds. Steam user tags mention 'Physics' and the chained-together mechanic implies physics-based interaction between players affecting movement and traversal. The constraint of being chained to co-op partners creates emergent, unpredictable interactions as players' individual inputs ripple through shared physics.
How it looks and sounds
Steam tags specify 'Third Person,' indicating the camera follows the climbing characters from behind or over the shoulder. Steam tags include 'Surreal,' and the premise of climbing from hell through diverse worlds defies conventional logic.
How it's structured
The game is explicitly designed as a full campaign playable solo or with 1-4 players chained together, making co-op a definitional core of the experience. The game supports full online co-op gameplay with up to 4 players, making networked cooperative play a major feature. Split-screen local co-op is explicitly supported, enabling same-room cooperative climbing.
