TANGENT

TANGENT

A physics-driven climbing game about flow, momentum, and mastering movement.

Grapple, swing, launch, and climb through a strange interconnected world. Discover shrines along the way to unlock new movement abilities, opening up faster routes and new ways to recover from disaster.

TANGENT is easy to pick up, difficult to master, and built around one idea:

Keep moving.

Grapple. Pump. Fly.

Latch onto grapple points and let physics do the rest.

Swing wide. Pump through the bottom of your arc to build speed. Release at the right moment and send yourself flying toward the next grapple — or halfway across the world.

The better you understand your momentum, the faster you can move.

Get to the Top

TANGENT takes place in one massive, handcrafted world built around a continuous climb.

Explore strange environments, discover 12 shrines, and gradually unlock new abilities that change how you move.

Adjust your rope mid-swing. Influence your trajectory through the air. Slow down time when everything gets out of control. Extend your reach to make grapples you couldn't before.

Every new ability expands what you're capable of — and what routes through the world are possible.

Falling Isn't Starting Over

You will miss grapples.

You will completely screw up a swing.

You will fall.

But TANGENT is built around recovering from mistakes instead of constantly resetting because of them. A bad launch can become a desperate grapple, a huge fall can send you somewhere unexpected, and sometimes a mistake creates a faster route than the one you intended.

The goal isn't perfect movement.

It's learning how to keep the run alive.

Reactive Sound & Music

Reactive Audio

Music swells and react to your speed and movement, subtly guiding you into rhythm and reinforcing the flow state. When everything clicks, you’ll hear it.

Find Your Flow

Movement gets faster as your abilities — and your own skill — improve.

What begins as a careful climb can eventually become a continuous chain of swings, launches, shortcuts, and split-second recoveries.

The world doesn't change between runs.

You do.

Learn the terrain. Find better lines. Skip entire sections. Push your time lower.
