    The game features a survival element requiring management of hunger, thirst, and grip with a limited inventory.
  4. 4
    Players explore the environment to find supplies, discover ruins, and uncover the story of a past civilization.

Tips
  • Pay close attention to handhold security, as collision detection and camera angles can sometimes be misleading.
  • Experiment with controlling Aava's limbs individually to find the most stable positions.
  • Explore thoroughly to find essential supplies and uncover environmental storytelling.
  • Utilize pitons for more secure anchors, especially during difficult sections.
  • Be aware that the game can be unforgiving, and falling is a common part of the learning process.
