Game Visuals

I wanted to capture the visual style of vintage climbing photography. 

This style might not be suitable to some individuals for long extended periods of play-time, so if you find the style uncomfortable while playing, try turning on Color Mode in the Graphics Options Menu.

Difficulty

To complete Peaks of Yore, you'll have to make use of the acquired tools over the course of the game. The physics movement of your character is crucial to learn in order to progress to more challenging areas. There are two endings in the game, the first ending being reachable by summitting almost all peaks accessible in the Cabin, the second ending being reachable by summitting all peaks in the game.
