 Jusant (Video Game)
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.

After the End: After the water retreated from the Tower, the people eventually left. All that is remains are some abandoned settlements built on/into the cliffs, and letters chronicling the inhabitants' final days.

The Precarious Ledge
 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.

comment
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.

Understatement: Jusant refers to the event when the water vanished. In French, it means "low tide", which is quite an understatement for the ocean drying up.

Climbing the Cliffs of Insanity: The game is about climbing an incredibly tall rock tower. While there are several rests, including small villages built on the cliff-side, the climbs themselves become longer and more elaborate as the game progresses.

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.

Anti-Frustration Features: While checkpoints are rare, there is no way to die in the game. While climbing, you can always go back to where you started by winding in the rope. 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.

Eventually, she settles down just near the top, after her companions die trying to forcefully capture a ballast.

The Very Definitely Final Dungeon: After riding an adult ballast you arrive on the snow-clad top of the Tower. Before you, there is another, man-made, tower you still have to climb. It contains the most difficult climbing situations that will probably put your stamina and rope length to its limit.
