Scheduled for release in February next year, 'A Difficult Game About Climbing' is set to bring a fresh challenge to Steam's gaming landscape. This game, inspired by 'Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy,' requires players to conquer a treacherous mountain using only their mouse to control the climber's hands.

The game promises a grueling yet achievable experience, with each obstacle carefully designed to test the player's skill and resolve. Unlike typical games, it focuses solely on the climbing experience, devoid of any distracting elements or violence. Interestingly, the gameplay does not feature any risk of death or injury, but a single mistake can result in losing all progress, adding a unique twist to the challenge.

Using just the left and right mouse buttons, players grab and pull themselves up the mountain. The game explicitly states that a trackpad won't be sufficient for this daunting task. As climbers ascend, they must be wary of slippery surfaces and other hindrances. Those who reach the peak are promised eternal glory and a special gift, making the endless struggle and potential frustration worth the effort.
