About this game

A brutally difficult medieval stair-climbing game about a lone musician trying to reach the main hall.

Take control of a struggling violinist as he scales impossible stone staircases toward a fateful performance for the king. In Bow and Banister, every step is a challenge.

Use the left and right mouse buttons to control each leg independently. Balance, rhythm, and precision are your only allies as you climb, inch by agonizing inch. No shortcuts — just you, your bow, and the endless climb ahead.

Along the way, you will encounter:

  • Quirky NPCs with stories to tell and obstacles in your path

  • Unexpected encounters that test your resolve

  • And a rumbling soundtrack driven by your own movement

Bow and Banister is all about climbing stairs
