Born from a game jam collab between Aggro Crab & Landfall Games, PEAK was created in a friendly, jealousy-fuelled sprint.

That same spirit of teamwork & creativity shines in every climb, laugh & last-minute save with friends.

What happens when two studios go on a month-long retreat in Seoul?

They make PEAK, a hilarious, cosy co-op mountain climbing game with scout badge achievements

Sometimes, the fun of making a game becomes the game.
