On The Trail is the toughest training! In preparation for their ascent up Mt. Kami, Aava and Marco took on an epic set of challenge routes set by legendary Troglodyte climber Otto Mondo. But what many consider a lifetime achievement, Mondo considers a light warmup!

Hyoie O’Grady blew us away with his range and sincerity as Marco. Its difficult to capture both youthful exuberance and beyond-your-years wisdom; and even harder to crack Aava’s shell! Not only did Marco reach her, Hyoie won our heart!

A lone climber attempts the climb of her career, and the ascent of her lifetime! What drives her? And will it be enough to bring her to the top? Our award winning adventure game Cairn and Aava’s epic story will be in LudoNarraCon next month! @fellowtraveller.games

We’re so grateful for Sophia Eleni’s standout performance. Aava isn’t an easy character to love, and Sophia portrayed the obsessive, closed off and thorny climber brilliantly, making her feel achingly relatable and deeply human. No small feat, like climbing Kami!

On the Trail is coming, save your energy! You won’t need to survive in the new areas like you did on Mt. Kami. Instead, keep track of your energy! Risky moves and falls will be especially draining, be careful! If you run out of energy, you’ll start over!

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 20/09/2026

Cairn’s free DLC On the Trail brings you a deep water solo experience! These new areas are even more challenging, but climbing over water does have its advantages! Not dying when you fall is #1, even if you still start back at the bottom.

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 05/09/2026

Climb as Marco in On the Trail! His climbing style is a bit more challenging than Aava’s. He’s not as tall and flexible as her, but he makes up for it with strong arms and by shifting his body to reach further holds. Giving him the range of motion he needs to make it to the top!

2405

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 31/08/2026

Cairn aims to capture the fantasy of climbing! Exploring a vast mountain, charting your course up its crags, and the exhilaration of topping out for an unforgettable view! Balance that heightened fantasy with our irl mountaineering experience to bring you a Peak climb!

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 25/08/2026

Marco is heading for the peak! He’s a talented young climber, but for him, its so much more about the journey, not the destination. On his latest climb, he runs into pro climber Aava who pushes him to climb higher! Follow his adventure in Cairn!

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 24/08/2026

Cairn’s nominated for TWO Gamescom Awards! So proud of our legendary audio team, congrats on the Best Audio nomination for the visceral sounds of climbing. And many thanks for the Best Gameplay award, climbing never felt so good. Best of luck to all nominees!

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 21/08/2026

Its too late. I’ve already depicted myself as the chill short king and you as the intense mountain climber.

Here’s how we Bake our indie Games! Happy ten years to our game Furi, from ourselves 10 years ago! Hope you enjoyed our 10th Anniversary Celebration Stream yesterday!

1242

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 31/07/2026

Ten years ago we sat down with Furi’s character designer, Takashi Okazaki, to talk art, process, and epic bosses.

1164

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 29/07/2026

How do you make a game people remember 10 years later? Here’s how we did it with Furi, ten years ago!

1245

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 26/07/2026

Don’t despair if you fall, it might not be the end of your climb! If the damage you take is only slightly more than your health, Aava might pass out instead of dying. You’ll become hungry and thirsty as she recovers, but at least you can keep climbing!

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 24/07/2026

One of our team members just launched a solo project! How cool is that?! You can play LouveSystems' Realms on Steam now!

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 14/07/2026

Gotta go fast! Sometimes the best way to get up a hard wall is with a BURST of energy. Burst increases your movement speed, letting you climb up before your stamina drains. Speedrunners also love it ;)

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 13/07/2026

Every Hero (or villain) needs an origin story. For Furi, it all began with these hand drawn concept sketches by Takashi Okazaki, the creator of Afro Samurai.

1345

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 06/07/2026

Furi has striking art, with character design by none other than Takashi Okazaki. It also has a community of incredible fan artists, who create pieces we love. Join us on discord to take part in our Furi 10 year anniversary art swap!! Art by Mango, deets in reply 🌟

If you’re struggling with a brutal overhang, try cooking up meals to improve your grip! It will help you hang on even in the harshest conditions

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 30/06/2026

Did you know you can reload saves from the route view? Its great for getting yourself unstuck from a difficult spot, or if you just want to climb a section of wall again!

2172

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 26/06/2026

Belay ropes aren’t just for saving your life! You can rappel down to reach spots you haven’t explored yet, and even swing to solid ground when you’re aaallllllmost there!

Summer is here, and its time to get back on the rocks! Our climbing game Cairn is 25% off, but 100% on the wall! Until you fall, that is 😂

The Game Bakers @thegamebakers.com · 23/06/2026

"The Game Bakers' studied mountain-climbing adventure is technically rewarding, beautiful to look at, and has an unexpectedly emotional dimension to it. A quiet success, but one that critics will still feel fondly about at the end of the year." Cairn in the top 3! 😊😊😊
