jusant a meditative actionpuzzle game from the creators of life is strange draws a peculiar similarity to the horizon forbidden west vr gamei tried out jusants demo during steam next fest and i was intrigued to find a game nothing like the games that helped make dont nod famous theres no teen angst in sight no liberal use of the word hella in fact theres no real dialogue at all just the whistle of the wind and the creak of a decaying towerin your solitude jusant tasks you with climbing that tower and its there that the games peculiar similarity to the world of horizon appears climbing is a process of moving each hand independently of the other grabbing a handhold in your left hand before moving upwards with your right carefully grasping for your next hold gradually adjusting and readjusting until you can move forwardit might be a cozy indie and not a vr adaptation of an action game but that climbing process immediately reminded me of horizon call of the mountain a virtual reality alpine spinoff of horizon forbidden west its climbing mechanic is extremely similar to jusants that same handoverhand maneuvering that makes perfect sense for a game but is a little different to the reallife experience of rockclimbing notably both are likely to make you just as weak at the knees as the real thing if you have a fear of heightsthe cost of psvr 2 means that horizon call of the mountain is disappointingly inaccessible and if youve not got the headset theres no other way to play jusant however is currently playable for free as part of its steam next fest demo so check it out while you cansteam next fest promises an early look at a host of upcoming indie games
