      will you actually have to raise your arms like you're climbing, or will it let you reach forward while looking up?
      blah blah blah, the mechanics are probably weird not matching your experience, so you probably will have to look up and reach up.
      it'll be like the Wiimotes hitting TV screens, but instead it's Oculus VR players accidentally slamming their desk trying to climb up, and punching the light stand next to them.
      i think it would suck in VR, but would still be fun occasionally if you're just messing around.

    Wow. Sometimes I feel like I'm desensitized to suspense and horror. But I genuinely mean it when I say this game absolutely nails it on giving the feeling of suspense and fear. Me as the viewer alone would feel so much anxiety, thinking of what could happen if you missed a jump, failed to hang on and all. Yet I could not look away.
    Might be looking into things too much. But the fact that it looks like your hands will turn a darker red to indicate the 'pain' of holding on for too long? That's honestly a great thing to add in!
    Really tapping into that familiar feeling of getting the hell out of somewhere. And if we even take a second glance back, could be trouble for us. That's me whenever I seem to turn off all the lights in a room, then speed-walking to close the door behind me the fastest at least!

    This game is a dream come true, by which I mean every nightmare I had as a kid. Desolate structures, being abandoned, the darkness, murky water(?). The only think missing is a spindly grinning monster that eats me front the feet up, oh wait there it is.

    Incredible ambiance. My palms were sweating, even the soles of my feet were sweating (ew). I would love it if there were more lore behind the setting, but that's hard to get when you're climbing for your life. Maybe the game opens up and provides more story as you climb higher. Masterful suspense.

    I just saw a video of the Silent Place game before this, and it got me thinking this game would be perfect for a similar mechanic of trying to avoid making sounds so as not to alert some creature.
    Like being careful not to hit metal too hard when jumping and grabbing ledges, knocking over items, or being careful with throwing items and hammering them to the wall.

    My only complaint about this game is that the light-red color the hands turn when they just start getting tired is way too close to a regular human skin tone. So I just keep seeing it as the player character sporadically becoming caucasian every few seconds.
