Jusant is a unique game that puts you at ease as you scale a mysterious tower. It recently received a massive accessibility update (https://support.dont-nod.com/hc/en-gb/articles/14957643453853-Jusant-patch-1-04-The-Accessibility-Update) that'll ensure more players than ever get to explore one of 2023's most interesting indies.


A simplified climbing mode has been added which allows you to climb using joysticks alone instead of your controller triggers. A no stamina mode is also included and it deactivates the stamina mechanic. In addition to color blindness options, there is an alternate rappel mode, a simplified interactions mode, and jump assistance.


Although these changes are geared towards allowing players with differing abilities to access the game, you don't need to have dexterity or sight impairments to enjoy the new features. Turning on the no stamina mode and simplified climbing mode gives you an even more relaxed journey where climbing is a calming experience with minimal difficulty.
