플레이어 의견 요약
원문 · 영어A first-person roguelite speed-climbing horror game where you grab ledges with left and right mouse buttons and ascend the vast SUB-STRUCTURE 17 while monsters, hazards and permadeath push you along.
원문 · 영어Players love it: Steam lists it as Overwhelmingly Positive at about 98% of roughly 15,000 reviews (14,662 positive, 301 negative), and the review sample shows very high playtimes (many 60 to 400+ hours), which signals unusual stickiness. The tactile two-hand climbing, the horror atmosphere and a very high skill ceiling that feeds a speedrun community are the headline praise. It launched in Early Access on 17 April 2025 from Dark Machine Games and publisher DreadXP, and reviews from late 2025 into 2026 describe regular large content drops (new regions such as the Nest, an Endless mode, an elevator for skipping climbs). Formal critic coverage is thin: Metacritic shows only two early critic reviews without a score, and I could not find an OpenCritic page. The small negative camp mostly likes the core climbing but dislikes permadeath, lack of mid-run saves, RNG perks and harsh late-game enemies.
플레이어가 칭찬한 점
- 원문 · 영어Climbing feel: holding ledges with separate left and right mouse buttons feels tactile and physical, and players compare the immersion to Shadow of the Colossus-style grabbing
- 원문 · 영어Very high skill ceiling; a first campaign clear can take an hour or more while top players finish in under 10 to 20 minutes, which drives heavy speedrun/competitive engagement
- 원문 · 영어Sweaty-palm tension: horror atmosphere, sound design and the constant risk of falling combine into genuine anxiety, with no easy respawn or checkpoint
- 원문 · 영어Environments become more colorful and varied as you ascend, and a full-scale structure with no loading screens gives a strong sense of place
- 원문 · 영어Depth layered under a simple premise: secret rooms, item caches, facility upgrades, artifacts, and lore people keep uncovering after the first clear
- 원문 · 영어Frequent substantial content updates during Early Access (new regions, Endless mode, new perks/artifacts) keep long-time players returning
- 원문 · 영어Distinctive dark humor and community in-jokes (roach currency at vending machines, a joke-review culture around the elevator), plus controller support although keyboard and mouse is widely considered best
- 원문 · 영어Critics who covered early builds noted it was nearly bug-free for Early Access and had a motivating faster-and-longer loop
- 원문 · 영어Streamer-driven word of mouth: several top reviews say they bought it after watching Jerma struggle with it, and many joke-reviews celebrate the clenching tension
플레이어가 비판한 점
- 원문 · 영어Permadeath sends you back to the start of a long run; many negative reviewers say progress loss is soul-crushing and time-wasting, especially for new players
- 원문 · 영어No cheap mid-run save: saving and quitting is costly (bugs currency) or awkward, and floppy-disk backups only respawn you at the computer where you inserted them
- 원문 · 영어Late-game areas (the Abyss, Hanging Gardens, later regions) are called brutally hard, with enemies like the flying head and harpoon barnacles criticised as frustrating or unfair on precarious terrain
- 원문 · 영어Heavy trial-and-error: several reviewers describe the campaign as a series of knowledge checks, and deaths can feel like they come from RNG or ragdoll/enemy randomness rather than player error
- 원문 · 영어Physically demanding for long sessions; one older reviewer found the continuous intense mouse-and-keyboard input exhausting
- 원문 · 영어Grab detection is seen by some as finicky (crosshair must sit on a hold for a moment), making recoveries inconsistent
- 원문 · 영어Recent regions (the Nest) were criticised by a few high-hour players as repetitive, visually hard to read and thin on tile variety
- 원문 · 영어Roguelike layer feels thin to some: perks are rarely offered and lackluster, so there is little power-growth excitement compared with other roguelikes
차별화된 특징
- 원문 · 영어A first-person climbing roguelite where your two hands are literally the core input, which almost no other game matches
- 원문 · 영어Runs are a vertical ascent through a single continuous megastructure (SUB-STRUCTURE 17) rather than generic room-to-room levels
- 원문 · 영어Horror that comes from physical exertion and fear of falling, not jump scares; chasing threats like the Mass force you to keep moving fast
- 원문 · 영어Speedrun-first design: a built-in timer, a competitive mode that trims the perk pool, and a community that clears the campaign in minutes
- 원문 · 영어Endless mode with an Abyss section where players compete for altitude (one reviewer reports steady runs around 5000 m)
- 원문 · 영어Roach/bug currency, vending machines, floppy-disk lives and computer respawn points as a quirky meta-layer
의견이 갈리는 점
- 원문 · 영어Roguelite structure: fans see permadeath and randomness as the tension that makes it special, while several reviewers call it a great climbing game held back by being a roguelike
- 원문 · 영어Difficulty of late-game and new content updates: hardcore players welcome the challenge, but some high-hour players say recent regions are overtuned or less fun than earlier builds
- 원문 · 영어Input method and stress: some call it relaxing, others find it physically and mentally exhausting, and there is debate whether permanent progression and perks smooth or distort the skill challenge
반복과 부담
- 원문 · 영어Replaying the same early regions every run because there are no real checkpoints is the most repeated complaint
- 원문 · 영어Long time per run before reaching the next section, which punishes players with limited play time
- 원문 · 영어Low-value or rarely offered perks can make early runs feel empty when RNG gives nothing useful
- 원문 · 영어Rage-inducing hazards in the Abyss and Hanging Gardens where enemies block or harpoon you mid-traverse
- 원문 · 영어Repeated tile reuse in newer regions makes Endless mode feel like a slog to some veterans
기대하는 개선 사항
- 원문 · 영어Add a casual/campaign mode with checkpoints or persistent progress so players can reach new areas without replaying old ones
- 원문 · 영어Make saving and quitting mid-run cheaper and more accessible, or let floppy-disk backups be banked or transferred between computers
- 원문 · 영어Rebalance late-game enemies (Abyss and Hanging Gardens threats, harpoon barnacles) and reconsider the gun-driven last section
- 원문 · 영어Clean up or merge the perk pool so weak perks do not dilute runs, and make perk offers feel more impactful
- 원문 · 영어Improve transparency of mechanics such as inventory weight and its effect on movement speed, and add clearer on-screen tutorials
- 원문 · 영어Commonly requested extras: a relaxed zen/no-enemy mode, a level editor or workshop, and more cosmetic/collectible content
원문 · 영어Launched into Early Access on 17 April 2025 (Steam, Windows only, about $16.99 in local data) with a demo available, and the original roadmap cited about a year in Early Access with seven regions and extra modes. By 2026 Steam reviews mention multiple large content drops including the Nest region and Endless mode changes; the store listing in local data still shows the Early Access genre tag. Streamer exposure (for example Jerma and Spiff are named in Steam reviews) appears to have driven discovery. Steam-revenue-calculator.com estimates roughly $2.8M gross and $833K net revenue, but it appears to use an old review count (5,230), so this likely underestimates; SteamSpy in local data lists 100,000 to 200,000 owners. Metacritic shows only two early critic reviews (Try Hard Guides and Loot Level Chill) and no Metascore or user score. No OpenCritic page was found. I was unable to run web searches (session search budget exhausted) and could not read Reddit, so community detail relies on Steam reviews plus fetched pages; I could not verify exact patch names or dates.

원문 · 영어Tier list Part 4 (2025)
원문 · 영어White Knuckle is a first-person horror climbing roguelike in early access, where you grab surfaces with left and right mouse buttons and climb out of a hellish place while a rising ooze chases you. He finds it very unique, intense and immersive, with a very high skill ceiling and a stressful, punishing feel. His main complaints are that it takes too long to reach its best content and that it lacks meta progression. He recommends it for players who want a hardcore experience and places it in A tier.
제작자가 칭찬한 점
- 원문 · 영어Highly unique combination of climbing, horror and a Portal-like comedic radio voice
- 원문 · 영어Minimalistic controls that are hard to master, giving a very high skill ceiling
- 원문 · 영어Many varied biomes and hidden late-game areas he calls awesome
- 원문 · 영어Immersive, spooky and intensely stressful atmosphere
- 원문 · 영어Lots of secrets and a strong community (debug world, terminal secret area), reminiscent of Inscryption
- 원문 · 영어Stamina and grip mechanics that reward experimentation
- 원문 · 영어Extra roguelike game mode with more replayability
제작자가 지적한 문제
- 원문 · 영어Very punishing: a big fall can end a long run, and runs take a long time
- 원문 · 영어Most players never see the later biomes because of difficulty; it takes too long to get there
- 원문 · 영어Little meta progression; the shortcut system is so cruel it is not worth using
- 원문 · 영어Consumables with hidden effects are unhelpful and mean in such a punishing game
- 원문 · 영어Few passives, some much weaker than others; room layouts become repetitive once seen
설계에 대한 관찰
- 원문 · 영어Fuses first-person climbing with horror and a Portal-like comedic radio narrator
- 원문 · 영어Campaign is a fixed biome order with randomness only from picking room layouts from a library
- 원문 · 영어Hidden debug-world secret reachable via terminal commands found by the community
원문 · 영어Top 10 of 2025 (#8)
원문 · 영어White Knuckle is a first-person climbing horror roguelike where an unfortunate character tries to escape horrors by going ever upward. He calls it possibly the most unique game on his list, blending 3D platforming with horror. The mechanics are easy to grasp but have a very high skill ceiling, and the story mode is an excellent adventure. He admits it is the hardest to recommend because it is punishing and very stressful, but still suggests trying this stressful gem, especially in early access.
제작자가 칭찬한 점
- 원문 · 영어Most unique game on the list, mixing 3D platforming and horror, two uncommon roguelike subgenres
- 원문 · 영어Simple to understand but with an extremely high skill ceiling
- 원문 · 영어Dedicated community showing insane climbing speed is fun to watch
- 원문 · 영어Main story mode is an incredible adventure
- 원문 · 영어Each biome is unique, with its own disturbing and fun obstacles
제작자가 지적한 문제
- 원문 · 영어Very punishing and possibly the most stressful roguelike he has played, which can be a pro or con
- 원문 · 영어Early section is constantly on the clock, leaving beginners little room to experiment and risking missing later highlights
- 원문 · 영어Early section differs wildly from the rest of the game
- 원문 · 영어Roguelike elements are not the focal point
- 원문 · 영어Community speed feats can be discouraging; content still thin in early access (wants more biomes, layouts, secrets, consumables, passives)
설계에 대한 관찰
- 원문 · 영어Combines 3D platforming and horror in a roguelike, a rare pairing
- 원문 · 영어Climbing upward as the escape loop, with a high skill-ceiling movement core
