Jusant is a climbing traversal game where you take a challenging-yet-meditative climb to the top of a tall tower. You use the trigger buttons to hold on and the stick to jump and reach for the next position. In this way you methodically work your way up climbs using handholds and other tricks to get the grip you need. It stands out for taking the simple challenge of climbing and folding it into a game with deft controls and just the right amount of path-finding.

Our accessibility examiner, Andy Robertson, first checked Jusant accessibility 15 months ago. It was re-examined by Jo Robertson and updated 3 months ago.

Accessibility Notes

There's an option to reduce the camera shake (but not eliminate it). You can also opt for an auto-follow camera so you don't have to use a second stick.
