*CURRENTLY PLAYTESTING MECHANICS*

Embark on a journey against Mother Earth herself. You will traverse the harsh paths of Mt. Everest as the Red Panda, Snow Leopard, and Pika. Through each of the animals you play, you will learn the cruel fates of sherpas who have fallen before reaching their goal. You will feel encouraged to help them, or perhaps feel forced to. The choice is yours. You will also face the harsh reality of the mountain and have to fend for yourself. This emotional tale of death, grief, and acceptance will surely tug at the heartstrings.

Everest is a 2D Platformer survival game with the first level currently available. Please look forward to the remaining two levels by the end of the calendar year!

The game was made in 31 days during the Game Off 2023 jam, from 1 Nov 2023 to 1 Dec 2023, based on the theme “Scale”. Please let us know of any bugs you encounter, Thanks!

This game uses FMOD to process audio, which can occasionally cause bugs in the web build of the game. For the best listening experience, we recommend you download it!
