About this gameFull description from Steam
White Knuckle is a first person roguelite speed-climbing game. 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.
