THE SKY IS WATCHING.

Experience ABOVE, a narrative-driven psychological horror game that dares to unfold entirely in the stark light of day. Stranded in the desolate Idaho desert as Joyce, a lone park ranger with a disabled car, you face a chilling realization: something above is always watching.

Explore the vast, open landscape, piece together fragmented diary entries, and decipher unsettling radio transmissions to uncover a deeply personal story of family, guilt, and sacrifice. This compact and atmospheric experience is crafted for a single, intense playthrough.

ABOVE redefines the horror genre, prioritizing atmosphere, tension, and emotional resonance over combat. It's not about how you fight, but how you endure the ever-present dread.
