Descend into the Unknown: A Psychological Horror Game

Begin your unsettling first day as a security officer in The Stairwell, a building of enigmatic design by an unknown architect. Your mission: patrol the seemingly endless staircases and investigate reports of strange phenomena on each floor. Navigate the building's vertical labyrinth, making crucial decisions based on your observations. Are you brave enough to uncover the building's secrets?

How to Survive The Stairwell
