About this game
This Mountain Won't Climb Itself
Eldritch Climb is a physics-based roguelite built around movement with unique controls. Swing from handholds, launch yourself across gaps, and cling to whatever you can find. The movement is raw and expressive, every run feels different as you get better. Master it, and the mountain becomes a playground. Don't, and it becomes a grave.
The More You See, The Worse It Gets
Scattered across the mountain are Eyes, a cursed currency that expands your perception. Collect enough and the world shifts. Levels mutate. Enemies evolve. Every mechanic reveals a darker variation of itself. There are three layers to everything on this mountain, and the deeper you see, the less you'll wish you had.
Something Is Very Wrong With This Mountain
Puzzles are hidden in every area, quiet and strange things that don't announce themselves. Solve them and you'll enter memories: glimpses of your character, the mountain's history, and the cults that worshipped it. The lore won't be handed to you. It's buried, like everything else worth knowing here.
Cursed Tools For A Cursed Climb
Loot corpses. Browse the shop. Equip items in each hand, but whatever you're gripping with, you can't use. That constraint is the whole puzzle. Find a combo that works, lean into it, and watch a run come together. Passive items soften the edges. Active ones create chaos. Usually both at once.
