As we – gestures broadly – discuss our games of the year and bestow awards upon our favourites, one that I’m sure will be acknowledged here on Rogueliker is White Knuckle.

This gripping first-person climbing game is intense, and our Kinix has not stopped singing its praises all year. It landed in great shape and has only got better since then, and it’s still following the roadmap that was outlined back in May.

The last major update, The Abyss, was followed by a Halloween update called Parasite, and there’s time for one more content patch before the year’s end: another seasonal event, this time intended to bring cheer to one and all!

The update is called The Chimney, and it introduces an endless mode with a holiday theme, along with new ice-cold hazards, such as blizzards and freezing temperatures. Additionally, there are now hot and cold surfaces to contend with. I’m guessing these cold surfaces will come into play when grabbing ledges created by the new cryo-gun!

On top of the gameplay changes, there are new animations, plus you can customise your in-game hands, which is linked to a collab with artist Balabanodo. Check out the trailer below to see the update in action, and hit this link to read up on the changes or try the demo over on Steam.
