About
Use momentum-based movement mechanics with precision, deploy a variety of tools and resources, and ascend as fast as you can.
Just don't lose your grip, there’s eternity below you.
Manage your inventory or become encumbered and fall to your death. Failure to grab what you need from your bag in time can spell disaster.
Through run-based meta-progression, you’ll discover and unlock varied augmentations.
Bolster your will to ascend.
You're not alone down here. Strange life flourishes far underground, and darker things haunt these halls. Something oozes from the depths– following you, growing angrier… and it won't let up.
Travel through different regions with unique threats and gameplay challenges during your attempted escape of the underground megastructure.
The deep dry storage of the Silos, the putrid sewers of the Pipeworks, the haunted piers of Habitation. Each area will require adaptation to new obstacles and denizens.

bien plus complet que ce que je pensais, y a des secrets, un aspect roguelite, du challenge, une bonne durée de vie et de la rejouabilité donc pour le prix ça vaut le coup !
This is the coolest game I've played in a long time. I love climbing. I love horror games. I love indie games. So there is nothing to not like about White Knuckle. It's a special one. I bought it right as the nest update released while it was on sale, but even at full price, White Knuckle is worth every cent. All I wanna do is show more people White Knuckle and watch them play it. I wanna get all my friends and make them take turns playing it. I'm so glad I have finally found this game and I only look forward to the future of this first-person roguelite speed-climbing gem.

10/10.
Joguei muito esse jogo e, sem exagero, virou um dos meus favoritos. Gosto de praticamente tudo nele: a temática, a ambientação, a trilha sonora e os gráficos. Tudo combina muito bem e cria uma experiência única. Sinceramente, não faço ideia de quem teve a ideia de misturar um jogo de escalada com terror e elementos de roguelike e pensar que isso daria certo. Mas deu. O resultado é um jogo extremamente divertido, viciante e com muita personalidade. Espero que, quando for lançado oficialmente, ele receba ainda mais conteúdo, porque o potencial é enorme.
After beating it several times I can only say it's one of the most unique and fun survival horror games, there is simply nothing like it existing. It's a great game to beat and experience the methodically crafted environment while being accompanied by great sound design and even better soundtrack, and if you like the game enough outside of it's "campaign" and want to keep playing it, great news! You free to do so and chase better and better scores and faster times competing with every other player for better score, to be frank at that point it's not a horror anymore but a very fun speedrunning experience, yet it doesn't make the game in any shape or form worse, only better some would say. What im saying is... buy this game it's one of the best experiences and very unique. Can't wait for the full release. I send my love to the devs for creating such incredible gem of a game ♥♥
Rarely do I ever feel compelled to write a review, equally as rarely do I find a game that I fall into like this one. This game is stressful, it's kinda scary and I hate horror, but it is so rewarding and fun and interesting that I have somehow been able to push past that. Every mechanic feels fantastic to learn, it's the kind of game you want to get better at. "just one more run" till its 2am and your cortisol is through the roof. It's also the kind of game where after a failed run the typical reaction is "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid game i love it so much okay one more" knowing full well it was your fault and your own biblical levels of greed. The lore, the atmosphere, the look and feel it all coalesces into such a perfect mix. its not even done but I would pay top dollar for this game because even as it is, even if god forbid something happens it is already infinitely replayable and fun and worth the money and the time. This thing can run on a potato, do yourself a favor, get it, play it, and lose yourself to it. 10/10
Whoever designed new ascent should be unconditionally lobotomized
