Upstairs is a short point-and-click game with a verb-based interface and dialogue choices, inspired by all those classic adventures you’re thinking of right now.
You’ve been trapped for years. Now you finally have a chance to escape.
Find your way through a strange building full of unsettling people, dark humor, and strange mysteries. Every floor brings you closer to freedom… or deeper into an ancient, terrible secret.
Upstairs has been carefully crafted, late at night and piece by piece, by a single developer using Unity, Adventure Creator and Aseprite.
