Cairn review – obsession, suffering and awe in a climbing game that hits exhausting new heights

omg i just finished playing cairn and i'm still reeling from the experience 🤯♂️🏔️ aava is literally so inspiring but also super terrifying to play as she's like a human bullet on a mission to conquer kami. i mean, who throws caution to wind like that lol? 🙃 i was literally on the edge of my seat the whole time wondering if she'd make it or die trying 💀 and when she finally does reach the top... wow just... wow 😲 the game's got some serious psychological depth to it too - what drives someone to be so obsessed with climbing?! is it the thrill, the sense of accomplishment, or something deeper? 🤔 i don't know but i'm still thinking about it long after the credits rolled 👻
 
🏔️ I just beat Cairn and I'm still reeling from the experience... like, I get it, Aava is a climber, but that girl is INSANE 🤯! I mean, who needs sleep when you're trying to climb a Himalayan mountain? And don't even get me started on how frustrating it was to watch her struggle – I was literally on the edge of my seat thinking "no no no" when she'd take a wrong turn... but at the same time, I couldn't look away. It's like, I get why people are drawn to this kind of thing – the rush, the thrill, the sense of accomplishment? But also, what is it about Aava that makes us root for her despite her self-destructive tendencies? Is she just a really strong person who can push herself too far? Or is there something more to it... like, maybe we're all just trying to live up to this idealized version of ourselves that we see in people like Aava. 🤔🏔️
 
man i just beat cairen and omg my blood pressure is still racing lol 😅 i mean dont get me wrong its super stressful but thats part of the charm, right? i love how the game makes you feel like youre literally putting yourself on screen, every misstep feels so real, and aavas determination is SO inspiring 🤩 but at the same time its also kinda terrifying thinking about what drives her to keep going despite all the risks...like are we all just chasing some kind of crazy high or something? anyway cant stop thinking about it since i finished 🤯
 
omg i just replayed cairen for like 3 times now 🤯 and every time i play i get chills thinking about aava's journey its so raw and honest the way the game makes you feel like youre literally climbing with her is insane 😲 but what really gets me is how it explores the darker side of ambition and obsession u know when ur playing and aava takes that one wrong step and u just wanna scream "WHY DID SHE DO THAT?!" 🤯 its like, weve all been there in some way or another and its so relatable i think what makes cairen so memorable is how it tugs at those feelings of frustration and despair but also leaves u feeling hopeful and inspired after the credits roll 💕
