Scape launches on Steam with Gravity, a shared climb for up to 100 players

The Early Access release is now available on PC. Its first experience combines physics-based platforming, falls without checkpoints and a tower shared with other players.

Scape entered Steam Early Access on November 11 with Gravity, a vertical platformer where up to 100 players share the same climb. ScapeWorld Entertainment has built its opening experience around a straightforward challenge: keep moving up, judge each jump and try not to lose your progress in a fall.

One tower, many players and no checkpoints

Gravity has no health bars or checkpoints to soften a mistake. A badly timed jump can send your character back down sections of the tower. Physics is part of the challenge, and the climbers you pass are other players rather than background characters.

You can also team up with a friend. That gives you a choice between tackling the climb on your own in a shared space or playing alongside someone you know. Either way, moving up the tower comes down to execution and patience.

What is available at launch?

The Windows release includes interface and subtitle support for Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. The US base price is $7.99. A 15% introductory Steam discount reduces it to $6.79 through November 18. Those are US store prices; regional pricing should be checked from your own account.

The start of a platform in development

Gravity is Scape’s first experience. The studio plans to expand the project with more games and eventually make the platform free to play. For now, buyers are joining an Early Access product, so its content and plans can change during development.

For players who enjoy precision challenges and the tension of climbing without a safety net, the appeal is the combination of trial, error and the sight of other people taking on the same route. The climb is available now, rather than merely announced for a future release.
