Description


Peaks of Yore is a first-person physics-based "climb-em-up" adventure set in 1887.

Steel your nerves and perfect your climbing skills as you ascend the rock wall, traverse difficult routes, and encounter many challenges and obstacles.
As you venture out, you will meet like-minded mountaineers and discover the serene and picturesque nature of The Great Gales.



The esteemed Official Ascension Society will be monitoring your progress and determine your potential for participation in further categories of mountaineering.

A Peak-bagging Adventure

Embark on an adventure to summit every boulder, peak, and mountain in The Great Gales.

Ascending the mountains will be treacherous. You will make many attempts, and you will fall many times. Small mistakes lead to greater falls.
Mountains are not fair or unfair, they are just dangerous.



  • Each peak presents a new challenge as well as new routes to discover.
  • Master every hold by trial and error. Not every hold is the same.
  • Unlock climbing gear to help you summit the most treacherous peaks.
  • Meet a charming cast of like-minded mountaineers.
  • Find comfort in your cabin as your base of operations and fill it with trinkets found on your journey.
  • Enjoy the fresh mountain air and quietudes of the mountains, rendered in a picturesque style harking back to the 19th century.
  • Hours of palm-sweat inducing content.
  • Develop your skills as a budding mountaineer to be the first to conquer the unconquerable mountains.

Peak performance

I bought a few games completely blind this week on a complete whim due to having time off, plus many gigs of ISP download left. My version of completely blind = no reviews, 'how bad can it be' attitude, 'give it a chance', trailers and gameplay text only, no googling, no forum wars. This game is fantastic - totally impressed! Core gameplay loop involves attempting to climb mountains. Skills are improved as you try different mountains. Items gained. Insights gained from NPC's & environment. Its truly simple concept. I'm 10 mountains in so can't comment on the end game, but right now totally loving the progression. Pros: - progression of difficulty is smooth and roughly matches the improvement of skill and equipment. - I am a casual climber and this is realistic enough not to be a complete turn off. - The sounds + birds are soothing. Generally not a fan of artificial environments compared to the real thing, but they found something that worked. - fluid mechanics - sometimes you gamble and succeed on a jump and it feels fantastic. - sometimes you gamble on a jump and fail... and you realize its completely your fault. - Meeting the occasional NPC and finding new treasures to accumulate - Scenery Cons: - Seagulls can go die in a fire (not really, just I want to throw a brick at them). - be warned - the pause button isn't a real pause - you are mostly safe, but in the menu screen you can still move and fall if you press the wrong button on accident. - You can't be the goat :) If I keep enjoying it, I will purchase the DLC and update.

A wonderful experiance.

This game does so much with its focused scope. I felt I was back in time climbing these routes with not a care in the world. It challeneing but not unfairly and does require you use every inch of the rock face to give you just a little bit more reach to the next hand hold. I would highly recomend this game to anyone who has an interest in bouldering / rope climbing.

The greatest climbing game

I really like this game and I'm buying it on steam so I can fully explore the workshop Other than GOG limitations this has to be the best single player game I've played, from gameplay atleast. Storywise there isn't much there, but it's very fun.

A fantastic lesson in humility

I first played this game 2 years ago, had a lot of fun in the main game and reached the final mountain and was stumped by how disproportionately hard is was compared to the main game. The final challenge is 10x taller than anything the game throws at you before. I gave up and only now came back a second time and finally beat it. Summiting Solemn Tempest frees your soul like nothing else. Spiritual experiece, would recommend.
