You’ll never have too much equipment and the management of your dwindling supplies is a key part of the game. Lost health can be restored by the rare pick up of first aid. You can get sanity back through certain events and you can find oxygen canisters to restore lost oxygen. You’ll restore lost energy with sleep or with food and lost temperature with sheltered sleep or with hot tea. You’ll lose sanity if you see unpleasant or strange things, such as dead bodies or you come close to death! You’ll only lose oxygen when you cross into the “Death Zone” and then you’ll lose oxygen every time you move. You’ll lose temperature if you’re walking in the snow or ice, as well as whilst sleeping. You’ll lose energy as you move, with more energy lost if you’re trying to climb a particular steep climb.

Some of the events even have small multiple-choice events attached to them so you can choose how to spend your time and what risks to take. You’ll need to weigh risk versus reward as you head towards them whether it’s worth the extra energy to go and investigate them. You can get a rough idea of what they’ll be based on the icon, such as the tent marker giving you sites that could offer you shelter or even find more equipment. You’ll also see floating circular markers on the map which are random encounters. There will also be small lightning flashes if you’ll be taking a chance with one of the particular ascents, such as moving up a tough ledge. The game’s excellent UI will feedback to you what each route will do to the four dials as well as colouring the route in red if you’ll end up in the critical zone. If your health reaches zero, you die and the game is over. Each of these are depleted by different things and running out of any of them will put you into a “critical” state which will then give you a random chance of dangerous events which can deplete your health. There are four different gauges to keep an eye on as you play the game energy, temperature, stress/sanity, and oxygen. You’ll control your character in a 3d rotatable view and you can plot your moves, clicking on a tile and then executing your move.

As part of your set up, you can choose which route you wish to take, each of which has plus and minus points, such as blizzards or more rocky areas. Taking up the role of one of three unnamed persons, an adventurer, a scientist, or a journalist all of whom start with different gear and different buffs, you’ll need to move across a tile-based map as you attack three mountains one at a time. Insurmountable casts you in the role of one of these mountaineers, taking on a triad of mountains in an unusual tactical RPG/survival game. Oceans are navigated, rivers forded and, of course, mountains are scaled by brave mountaineers. Whenever mankind has been confronted with a seemingly impassable barrier, they will always seek to overcome it.
