Climb It VR is a free climbing game in which you are trapped inside a tube that slowly fills with lava and must keep climbing to survive.
Climb It VR is a short action game from Sir Fansi (Kampai Raptor), part of the developer's series of weekly VR releases. You start at the bottom of a tube while lava rises beneath you. It is distributed through SideQuest, where it was first listed in August 2021.
How it plays
The whole game rests on one rule: keep climbing. Lava slowly fills the tube you are trapped in, and the only way to stay alive is to pull yourself upward faster than it rises. The listing's own summary puts it bluntly, with a joke about climbing fast or dying just as fast.
The tags point to climbing, escape and fitness, which fits a game where your arms do the work. The listing does not mention levels, unlocks or a story, so expect a compact challenge built around a single idea. As with the developer's other weekly projects, it is a small free download that you can try in a few minutes and come back to if you want to beat your last attempt.
Comfort
SideQuest rates Climb It VR as comfortable, which makes it a reasonable pick for players who are sensitive to motion. Even so, climbing is physical, so take breaks when your arms tire; our guide to motion sickness in VR has general tips.
