A local co-op game for two players, inspired by the expedition of Sir Edmond Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, the first men to ascend Mount Everest. The game begins upon reaching the summit of Mount Hope, the tallest mountain in Asia, and in celebration of their achievement, one mountaineer, Sir Thaddeus Pawlicki falls, and is swept away in an avalanche along with the expeditions supplies, leaving his guide Mohan Sambhoo stranded atop the summit. Thaddeus however, is trapped within an abandoned Soviet mine. The game has two rolls. From the perspective of Mohan, the game a completely visual decent down the mountainside, battling the elements, and starvation, all the while determined to rescue his partner from the depths. Thaddeus' journey, with no light to guide him, takes the form of a completely auditory experience, as he follows the sounds of mice through networked maze of corridors.
This game is dedicated to the hundreds of Mountaineers and Researchers who gave their lives in pursuit of knowledge, and glory.
