All you can do is keep climbing. That is the basic premise for Jusant, an upcoming game developed and published by French independent company DON'T NOD. You are placed inside the body of a mysterious main character, placed in front of a long-abandoned towering pillar of rock, and given the tools you need to explore it.
I was given the opportunity to preview this fascinating title before it lands on Xbox and Windows PC later this year. In my handful of hours navigating through the first three chapters of the game, I found myself slowly relaxing during a period of my life that feels particularly busy or hectic. Jusant lets me progress at my own pace, and that's reason enough for me to be excited for the final release.
