What is Insurmountable?
Insurmountable is a single-player mountain-climbing roguelike with three climbers, each tied to a mysterious story. You plot routes up three procedurally generated mountains, search for equipment, and manage your climber’s condition through changing weather, day and night, and random events. Death ends the run.

- +you enjoy weighing routes against weather and limited supplies
- +you prefer a slow pace without direct combat
- +you like choosing climbers with different skills
Not for you if...
- −you dislike restarting a run after your climber dies
- −you need varied objectives across successive climbs
