As Above

Pixel-graphics dark-mystery survival-horror!

You awaken on an island next to a grave. Your grave. A noose hangs from a tree limb nearby, you have the distinct impression that some time ago you were hanging from it. There is some dark mystery at play, and solving it will solve the riddle of who and what you truly are.

As Above is inspired by the old CGA graphics and adventure games from the 80s and 90s. It will have a focus on action over obtuse puzzle solving, as you uncover the truth as you explore the island, its locations, and interact with the inhabitants. You will find items and gain abilities that will allow you to access areas you could not previously. The game will also have multiple endings.

This is a playable demo. There items you can pickup and use in various ways. There is an overworld map, several buildings and more to explore. The game has persistence, so if you enter a building and come back out, everything is where it was left -- that includes enemies and items you have picked up or have been dropped. There are several enemies in the game and their AI is fairly feature complete and bug free. There are numerous story notes to pickup in the world that help tell the story of the game along with environmental storytelling and NPCs to talk to.

Use the menu (ESC / Backspace / Start button) for options, player controls and to track story progress -- this will let you know when you have found everything to be found in this version.
