comment
A nameless boy is walking all alone on a vast plain that looks like a dried-up seabed. In front of him stands a gigantic rock tower he has to climb in pursuit of an unclear goal, with a little blue creature as only companion. From then on, he keeps climbing, and climbing, exploring the abandoned tower in search of hints. Letters and wall paintings were left by the members an old civilization, seemingly hit by a disaster that made the rain stop and the sea slowly disappear − the "Jusant"note a French word meaning "low tide".Jusant is an indie adventure-mystery game by French studio Dontnod Entertainment, released in 2023. You have nothing to defend yourself with, but don’t worry − only small, harmless animals still inhabit the tower. In fact, you cannot die, your trusty rope will always keep you safe. The main challenge will come from the climbing puzzles that get increasingly long and elaborate and will require you to use everything you can grab, from rocks to plants to small creatures, managing your stamina and rope length all the while. The climbing is done using the controller’s triggers or mouse buttons, as the developers were going for an approach that was intuitive while still feeling like the climbing required physical effort.

Happy Rain: The story is about the water being gone from the Tower to the point of an entire sea having dried out. Not surprisingly, the player character welcomes the rain finally coming at the end.

Foregone Victory: You simply cannot die in the game. You will always hook yourself in before starting a climb, so even if you fall, you'll always be caught by your rope, and can reel yourself in to the start to try again. There are also no hostile creatures on the mountain to try and kill you or knock you off, so you can explore and climb at your own pace.

 Jusant (Video Game) / int_38869708
comment
The Precarious Ledge: For a game about rock climbing, navigating ledges comes naturally. Downplayed as you cannot fall to your death. Whenever you are connected to a rope, you can always wind back the rope if you fall, and you can only disconnect the rope if you are standing on solid ground. If your rope is not connected, the game won't allow you to move off ledges.

Green Aesop: Bianca's journal contains one. Her companions try to capture a ballast, and die in the process. She decides to settle down at the top of the Tower instead, where she lives a happy life and is regularly visited by the last remaining ballast. The moral of the story: taking forcefully from nature doesn't work, it's better to live in harmony with it.

Scavenger World: As the water receded, traders weren't able to dock at the Tower any more to bring in supplies, forcing the inhabitants to build from whatever they have. This resulted in, especially on the lower levels, a lot of haphazardly built platforms.

Not Quite Flight: Your normal jumps might be impressivenote for a real person at least; they are usual for a platformer, but there are some ways to get even higher boosts from a jump. Chapter 4 has some creatures that fly around you and carry you upward for some distance. There are high winds in Chapter 5. By jumping the right time, you can ride the wind to jump several times your own height.

Shrouded in Myth: According to the letters, rain is something that only the older people speak of but nobody from the younger generations have ever seen. There is also talk about creatures called ballasts, which are responsible for bringing the rain, but these stories are dismissed as children's tales. The ballasts are actually real, and indeed they are the ones bringing the rain.

During longer climbs, there are rest points that allow you can reset your rope and stamina. You also have 3 pitons that you can place while climbing, reducing the amount that you need to backtrack if you fall.
