I covered a demo of Jusant a little while ago, but it's just been released and I really loved it. A couple of notes on the video: It may not be obvious in the gameplay, but you climb by using the the left & right controller triggers to grab and release each hand individually (and you use the analog stick to direct your arms). Also, there are some optional notes that you can pick up and read along the way. I didn't want to dwell on the notes for too much tough as they're often quite long and generally just contain little bits of worldbuilding (the environmental and cutscene storytelling is much more important). So if you'd like to read any notes, please pause the video at the relevant moments. Hope you enjoy the climb! :)
@@carl8703It does. I'm surprised many didn't try this too. Except for Shadow of the Colossus, that came out way back when on limited hardware. And the remake likely wouldn't add it due to remaining faithful to the original.
This is the enterprise to which Man’s natural soul inclines. Surmounting the monumental earth. Surpassing the sky. If the tower does not exist, then we must build it. Babel 2.0.
Yes! When there is a tower, I want to climb it. When there is a giant hole in the ground, I want to go to the bottom. When there are a bunch of stairs, I want to walk on them. I don't just want to do it; I need to do it.
At least that's easier, the weather should've calmed down a bit since the rain started The snow will melt, the wind will calm down and the blazing sunlight will be more bearable
I love the little details in the animation of your character's movements. Like when he adjusts his feet in different positions when standing still in the middle of a climb, or how, when he sees which ledge he is going to climb, he shakes his hand relaxing it before stretching his arm. The art and style is beautiful, the melancholic air and the immersion caused by the ambient sounds is exceptional. Another game to add in the category of pure visual poetry.
It looks amazing! The heights are insane and it's quite exhilarating watching the climbing. I can feel my legs trembling when the climber is in precarious situations
It's like a semi-realistic Sands of Time. The most obvious game-play feature is that you can't rewind, but at least he has his climbing accouterment. The art style, though, reminded me of Sky: Children of the Light. Oh, and, since the main subject of the game is ascension through climbing, I hope some-one played the Snake Eater Theme on those key moments.
the kid has unlimited stamina, titanium fingers, heat and cool resistance, no UV burned skin... and solved the world drough issue.... Wow! this kid is a super hero.... And the music is fantastic.....
I would have liked them to add small moments where your character must take a breath, rest to recover, or chew some energetic food. Even to bandage a wound on his hands or heal himself. Also small animations where at certain moments you have to use powder as a resin taken from some walls, or dry your hands to have a better grip. But the game is very good, and these details come to mind after seeing the gameplay.
played on GP, cause it's not normally my kind of game, but surprised at how addictive this is. the traversing controls remind me of the old Spider-man games before Insomniac dumbed them down. the music interludes are uplifting and environmental sounds are spot on. not being able to just walk off an edge without a rope attached made it very relaxing for a climbing game. animations work great too. really beautiful game all round.
That ending was great, but it very much did sound like all the water in that big orb fell down at once at the very end there, which would have instantly crushed and killed our hero.
Interested to see content like this from this channel! It pains me to see it not be as popular now (quite randomly, too), it's really one of the best TH-cam accounts around for gaming. I love the commentary through game mechanics, it really speaks to the level of professionalism behind the TH-camr and the developers. I can always trust that the full story will be told in these videos, contrary to most streamers and gamer channels.
There's something really instantly likeable about the graphics and sound in this game. Not my kind of thing but interesting to watch and hopefully it will sell well.
This game was beautiful! The controls could feel a little janky, but it was minor enough that it didn't take away from the experience for me. It reminded me of Rime a little bit. Anyone who played this game and wanted more should check out Rime.
Shadow of the Colossus appears to be a huge inspiration as well. Obviously they both share a climbing mechanic, but this game has gone well past it in terms of mechanical fidelity. Both also share similar pacing, atmosphere, and environmental storytelling. Another possible inspiration is GIRP, which was a old flash game. Another climbing game featuring highly experimental controls that simulated the feel of climbing. It also had similar pacing. However it was of much smaller scope.
best part about this is not having to hear some youtube influencer, hopped up on adderall and god knows what else, blabbing nonstop about nothing during the entire playthru.. this is so refreshing. this game looks cool too, by the way. im surprised i didnt know about it... thanks again for letting the gameplay speak for itself, and not killing us with insane drive, because you are convinced thats how to monetize your content..
You know what would be a cool game concept? Climbing the Tower of Babel from the bottom to the very top where it reaches the vault of heaven. It could be a game just like this where you interact with the various peoples who live on the tower as they constructed it over the course of centuries.
This game reminds me slightly to Heart of Darkness, like in the platforming and the feeling of discovery of a strange world, but with better graphics and less of the traumatic parts x.x
I read that all people climbed down some time ago, and the rain is going to drown entire world back with the ocean. Besides that, its very nice story, i looked it all on fly
Would have much preferred this without the cutesy sparkly magical elements, I think they break the truly excellent aesthetic and atmosphere presented in the first few minutes. Still looks like a very fun and engaging game, just disappointed that the austere sci-fi vibes were killed so fast.
What is the story behind the post-apocaliptyc world? I've only seen 1 min but I have the theory that the gigantic tower is actually a colossal tree that consumed all the ocean. Please if I'm wrong correct me I want to know!
jusant is the french word for juice ant wich is a liquid made from smashing ants or termites for their liquid wich is fed to moneys and harvested from urine to.. well thats up to you if you know what i mean. :)
Funny, I don't get any sense of vertigo from this game. Yet, when I see one of those thrill seekers standing on a pin head taking a selfie at the top of a very tall tower, my knees crumble, and my balls jump up into my throat. Funny how that works. Nice climbing game though. Not one I'd play at, but I did enjoy watching it on mute while ear-reading a good audiobook.
awesome game idea ! beaultyful game but guys!!! This is not how climbing works!!! i you would try such things it would not end well! stay safe out there S2
Hate to ruin the mood but I can’t help but wonder how good an ending this really is. Spoilers but: Protag boy is seemingly stuck in a basin at the top of a stupidly tall piller-mountain that’s super cold and rapidly filling with water; and speaking of, whoever of the human(?) population from the pillar that’s still alive and settled on the seabed are gonna find their new home flooded with, if I understand the implications correctly, an ocean’s worth of rain. I mean this is seemingly great for the ecosystem as a whole but every human looks like they’re getting a pretty raw deal here.
i was really hoping this wouldn't be just "uncharted: climbing sections - the game" but there is only one path to take.. this really should have had branching paths to guarantee multiple playthroughs and some kind of skill development, like things you only learn at the end of your first playthrough that you can use to take another path on your second. also at the end it's so cold there's snow but it still rains for some reason
Hi! It may not be obvious in the video, but there are often multiple paths to climb and there are plenty of secret areas to discover. I think it would have pretty good replay value.

Otherwise known as one of the few climbing games where your protagonist actually brings proper climbing safety equipment.
It works surprisingly well as a checkpoint system.
@@carl8703It does. I'm surprised many didn't try this too. Except for Shadow of the Colossus, that came out way back when on limited hardware. And the remake likely wouldn't add it due to remaining faithful to the original.
@@AmaryInkawultbecause the others are sado-masochist troll games
Because most other games like to think of their protagonists as free soloists.
@@OdaKa why did "Getting Over It" pop in my mind when you said sado-masochidtic games
Finally a game that fulfills my innate desire to climb a massive monument that pierces the sky
This is the enterprise to which Man’s natural soul inclines. Surmounting the monumental earth. Surpassing the sky. If the tower does not exist, then we must build it. Babel 2.0.
Also reaching the bottom of the abyss, like abyss in Made In Abyss
there’s a free game called only up
Yes! When there is a tower, I want to climb it. When there is a giant hole in the ground, I want to go to the bottom. When there are a bunch of stairs, I want to walk on them. I don't just want to do it; I need to do it.
i think you guys may like 'let it die'
Moving through the places where people used to live is haunting and quite beautiful
Kenopsia
That the word you been looking for.
Starts out like Journey...
*halfway up the pillar*
"Wait, did i turn off the stove?!"
This is quite beautiful honestly, l really want to play it and just stare at the horizon tbh.
Really loving the atmosphere
Now the greater question; how will our fearless mountain goat get down?
Getting down's easy. It's the landing that's the problem! :)
At least that's easier, the weather should've calmed down a bit since the rain started
The snow will melt, the wind will calm down and the blazing sunlight will be more bearable
JUMP!
Judging by the sounds at the end of the video, that huge ball of H2O came crashing down. The answer is likely: "Not alive" @@AlphaBetaGamer
That’s Jusant Deux
I love the little details in the animation of your character's movements. Like when he adjusts his feet in different positions when standing still in the middle of a climb, or how, when he sees which ledge he is going to climb, he shakes his hand relaxing it before stretching his arm.

Game of the year. finished it in one go, never felt so relaxed playing any other game before. It´s just like a trip to the mountains.
try also Abzu :)
0:20 it must be a nightmare to remember where you parked your boat
Very smooth and beautiful graphic and a relaxing gameplay
It looks amazing! The heights are insane and it's quite exhilarating watching the climbing. I can feel my legs trembling when the climber is in precarious situations
What a gorgeous game with such a unique and vibrant world that sparks both interest and imagination!
THIS IS THE MOST FASCINATING GAME I'VE SEEN IN QUITE SOME TIME, THANK YOU for 2 hours and minutes of a great game!

Playing this now. Just stunning. Very original concept too. Love it
reminds me of Journey (2013) a little bit, feel nostalgic

Thank you for showing this, it is my dream to make a game about scaling a massive structure, I need to play this and take notes.
The climbing animations tho, wow!!
That ending was great, but it very much did sound like all the water in that big orb fell down at once at the very end there, which would have instantly crushed and killed our hero.
What a great soundtrack! It really drew me into the story.

An actual Only Up\Getting over it game we only ever need.
This has Sky Children of Light/Journey meeting The Last Guardian vibes. I adore it.
At first, I thought this was yet another "Only Up" Boy, was I wrong! What an engrossing game!
Looks fascinating. Very detailed for a game.
Massive sky: cotl vibes
Love this world-building concept. Looks like "what if the ocean lost it's water"
There's something really instantly likeable about the graphics and sound in this game. Not my kind of thing but interesting to watch and hopefully it will sell well.
Preordered and it was freaking awesome. Yes, it's short, but it's worth it.
This looks like a peaceful yet challenging game that would be good for decompressing after work.
Crazy how this kid picked up a hobby and decided to make it each one of us' problem
Happy Halloween Loyalty subscribers And to you as well The Awesome ABG . You're beautiful Beta.
This is simply beautiful.😍
Gives me Rime vibes for sure.
The visual on This game is the ultimate beauty
I've been playing this one since it came out on Gamepass a few days ago and I absolutely love it
Wow...im 61 (not for games) but this is realy beautifull. Even the music. Wow.
Very tall tower... protagonist wears ancient inuit sun goggles... is this Ice Climbers??
This was a fascinatingly beautiful game.
Hermoso trabajo ......genial video juego,los paisajes y la sensacion de vertigo es impresionante
insanely beautiful
This game was beautiful!
The controls could feel a little janky, but it was minor enough that it didn't take away from the experience for me.
It reminded me of Rime a little bit. Anyone who played this game and wanted more should check out Rime.
RiMe is on my top 10 list. Stunningly beautiful and the story...oof.
So beautiful!
Just magical!
the crab at the start was so damn cute. 🥺
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween! :)
@@AlphaBetaGamer thanks!
"Great. Now I'm stuck up here."
This might get game of the year
No way
Beautiful game.
This game certainly learned the great zoom out camera angles and composition from the early God of War's. Beautiful!

5:35 *takes a running start and Sonic the Hedgehog-s through the loop*
The ending was amazing. The whales all got to go home😎🖤🐋
What a beautiful game!
This game gives off the same feeling as watching made in abyss.
@___c5645 that's the twisted side of made in abyss, I mean the indomitable human spirit to conquer unbelievable and unforgivable creations of nature.
this looks so great
best part about this is not having to hear some youtube influencer, hopped up on adderall and god knows what else, blabbing nonstop about nothing during the entire playthru.. this is so refreshing. this game looks cool too, by the way. im surprised i didnt know about it... thanks again for letting the gameplay speak for itself, and not killing us with insane drive, because you are convinced thats how to monetize your content..
this game is so freaking awesome 😎👍
You know what would be a cool game concept? Climbing the Tower of Babel from the bottom to the very top where it reaches the vault of heaven. It could be a game just like this where you interact with the various peoples who live on the tower as they constructed it over the course of centuries.
This reminds me of the game "Sky: Children of the light"
Is it just me, or would a movie of this be intriguing?
I want a baby sky whale plushie!
Man random games are my favorite tho :)
The art direction and atmosphere remind me an awful lot like Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.
weee blue shoulder frog !
Just the music makes it worth playing
Carry on my wayward son there be peace when you are done lay your weary head to rest don’t you cry no more.
Nice song
@@ko6171 this game reminds of the song.
1:14 Tower of Bound
The music is so perfect
A great version of this game would be amazing
beautiful 😌
5:39 AYOOOOO!…👀😂
Don't want to watch the rest of this video . Want to see the top on my own ... looks amazing !
The music at the beginning reminds me of Gris.
Cool concept of game
This game reminds me slightly to Heart of Darkness, like in the platforming and the feeling of discovery of a strange world, but with better graphics and less of the traumatic parts x.x
Remind me of this sort animated film about a desert and someone invents a machine to make rain. Rain maker might be the name 🤷
Can't wait for the free solo runs...
I read that all people climbed down some time ago, and the rain is going to drown entire world back with the ocean.
Besides that, its very nice story, i looked it all on fly
Such a pretty game.
5:36 😏😏😏😏😏
Very cool.

and now he must go down
so this world only has one planet sized water vapor condenser and the last person who knew how to work it left it on levitate
kind of excellent
Getting vibes of an older indie game called Toren.
I remember an arcade game that used the same controller method years ago.... can't remember it's name however..
Might be the most derivative thing I've seen, but I bet it's god fun too.
What is the story behind the post-apocaliptyc world? I've only seen 1 min but I have the theory that the gigantic tower is actually a colossal tree that consumed all the ocean. Please if I'm wrong correct me I want to know!
jusant is the french word for juice ant wich is a liquid made from smashing ants or termites for their liquid wich is fed to moneys and harvested from urine to.. well thats up to you if you know what i mean. :)
Did it fade to black right before the kid got bodied by a quadrillion tons of water?
