“A climbing game with a rather cute art style and some fairly nice landscapes overall. The game is divided into several chapters and offers areas with slightly different atmospheres, even though the gameplay itself…”
“This game is just lovely and fun. The gameplay is like a casual Cairn, and much more linear. That is definitely not a downside either. The climbing is very fluid, and it's quite rewarding to explore during your…”

“I understand the appeal but there is no risk and the reward is just an "oh, neat looking area." Which is FINE if you could actually save the game. Unfortunately, Jusant does not respect your time. At all. The biggest…”
“I came in to this on the back of playing Cairn and wanting to scratch that climbing itch some more. So comparison is kind of inevitable. Jusant is not Cairn. It's a very different style of game. You won't find survival…”
“The game is good. To get any kind of story you have to read the stuff laying around, which is fine. The auto-save and checkpoint system is not good at all. It's annoying and usually sets you back a lot if you don't quit…”

The gameplay is quite simple and the story is too, but these aren't drawbacks since they are secondary to the overall…”
