The WhatsNext verdict

If you enjoy short atmospheric walking simulators with striking hand-drawn worlds and environmental storytelling, Cloud Climber delivers a gentle, melancholy fifteen-minute experience. Players looking for substantial exploration, challenge, or replayability should look elsewhere.

What it does best

  • Hand-drawn ruins give the apocalypse a singular visual identity

  • A bleak world that stays strangely calm and contemplative

  • Diaries and abandoned towers make the ruins speak

What might put you off

  • The experience is over almost immediately

  • Clunky movement and uncomfortable camera behavior

The setup
