Evaluation

The Floor Above launched on Steam on April 8, 2026, developed by an 8-person team over one year. The launch announcement itself hinted at future plans, with the developers writing "we also hope this is only the beginning." Since launch, the team has been actively engaged: they shipped Update 1.0.43 on April 11, 2026 with balance and visual improvements, earned official Steam Deck Verified status on April 20, 2026, and released a Digital Artbook on June 3, 2026. Prior to the full release, the game had a well-supported demo phase with multiple substantial updates including a Holiday Update (December 2025) and Mortyverse Mode (February 2026). The developer's statement at launch about this being "only the beginning" indicates that more content is planned, though no specific future releases have been named beyond the artbook that has now shipped.

About this game

THIS IS NOT A TYPICAL ANOMALY-SPOTTING GAME.

You wake up strapped to a chair in a looping room.
You can only rotate, blink, and choose.
Narrators interact with you.
Each cycle, the room repeats one floor higher.
Your task is to tell reality from hallucination, survive, and eventually break the loop.

In the game, you will encounter many anomalies — but not all of them are real. Some are just fragments of Mike’s imagination. Blink to check.

If the anomaly disappears and the room returns to normal, you’re safe. If it doesn’t — it’s better to move to another floor.
🔴 Still see something strange? Press red.

🟢 Does everything look normal now? Press green.

Each correct decision brings you closer to the end.

Identify 9 rooms correctly in a row to escape.

Nothing in this game is random. Every detail is part of the story.

The first playthrough won’t give you the full picture — it only reveals one layer of Mike’s story.
With each cycle, the game becomes harder, new hints appear, and new doubts arise. The narrators are not there by accident.

To understand what is really happening, you’ll have to escape — and piece everything together.

  • Deep lore — a layered story hidden beneath every cycle

  • 100+ handcrafted anomalies — meaningful and carefully balanced

  • Strong, well-timed jumpscares

  • Surprisingly funny at times

  • Claustrophobic horror — the entire game takes place in one room

  • Blink mechanic — question what’s real

  • Simple gameplay — two buttons, constant doubt

  • Multiple narrators — different voices, different truths

  • Hidden “phantom anomalies” and easter eggs

  • Morty the Cat
