Peaks of Yore

Peaks of Yore is a first-person precision climbing game that captures the raw tension, isolation, and triumph of ascending unforgiving mountain faces. Developed by Anders Grube Jensen, the game challenges players to rely solely on timing, patience, and steady hands—there are no superpowers here, only grit.

Set in a stylized early-20th-century mountaineering era, players scale towering rock formations using realistic hand placement mechanics. Every grip matters. One misplaced reach or a moment of hesitation can send you plummeting back down, turning each ascent into a nerve-wracking test of focus and endurance.

Unlike traditional climbing games, Peaks of Yore emphasizes deliberate movement and environmental awareness. Crumbling ledges, narrow outcrops, and shifting surfaces force you to read the mountain like a puzzle. Progression feels earned, not given—each summit stands as proof of persistence.

With atmospheric sound design, minimalist storytelling, and a focus on skill-based mastery, Peaks of Yore delivers a pure climbing experience where the greatest reward isn’t just reaching the top—it’s knowing you climbed there yourself.
