A short, quiet adventure about waking up in a world where everyone digs forever and no one dies. No one explains why you are there.

A man in a pot, a hammer, and one enormous mountain. You move the hammer with the mouse, and that is all there is. Every fall can undo hours of climbing, and Bennett Foddy will comment on it. A punishing, philosophical, strangely funny game about frustration, made for a certain kind of person. To hurt them.

A physics climber where your two arms and a mouse are all that stands between you and the legendary Peak. Every grab is yours, every fall is yours, and losing forty minutes of progress to one slipped hand is part of the deal. Brutal, absurd, and strangely meditative once your hands learn the mountain.
