What it is
Jusant is an action-puzzle climbing game from Don’t Nod, built around a journey to the top of a tall tower. Climb at your own pace, choose between different paths and use climbing tools while keeping an eye on stamina. The tower’s changing environments include arid slopes and bioluminescent tunnels, with flora, fauna and a peaceful soundtrack along the way. Exploring alternative routes can uncover clues about a bygone civilization and the tower’s past. Ballast, a mysterious creature accompanying the journey, helps reveal clues and awaken nature along the path. Jusant is a single-player game with full controller support, Steam achievements, Cloud support and Family Sharing. It was released in 2023 for Windows.
