White Knuckle

White Knuckle is a first-person, run-based climbing game set in an underground megastructure. You use momentum-based movement and precise grabs to climb as fast as you can, deploying tools and resources as you try to escape.

Climbing and survival

Manage your inventory while climbing: carrying too much encumbers you and can make you fall. You also need to retrieve the right items from your bag in time, or you may not have what you need to survive. Run-based meta-progression lets you discover and unlock varied augmentations.

The underground

Different regions present their own threats and gameplay challenges. The Silos are deep, dry storage areas; the Pipeworks are putrid sewers; and Habitation has haunted piers. Each area brings new obstacles and inhabitants that require you to adapt.

Strange life flourishes far underground, while darker things haunt the halls. Something oozes from the depths, follows you and grows angrier as you climb.
