Peak is a cooperative climbing game for up to four players. After crash-landing on an unknown island, players take the role of scouts attempting to ascend the mountain at its center. The mountain is semi-procedurally generated and changes every 24 hours, featuring five distinct biomes with unique obstacles and enemies. Players manage stamina, collect climbing tools like ropes and pitons, and must work together to survive hazards while ascending.

Story

A group of scouts crash-lands on a mysterious island with no way to call for help. Their only hope of rescue lies at the summit of the massive mountain rising from the island's center. As they begin their ascent, the scouts discover they are not alone. A menacing figure known as the Scoutmaster stalks anyone who strays too far from the group, and the mountainside is teeming with hostile creatures that grow more dangerous the higher they climb.
