About ABOVE
THE SKY IS WATCHING.
ABOVE is a narrative-based, atmospheric psychological horror game set entirely in broad daylight. You play as Joyce, a lone park ranger stranded beside her disabled car on a remote desert road in Idaho.
The engine is dead. There is no respite. Only temporary shelter, open ground, and the growing sense that something above you is watching, listening, and waiting.
Explore the surrounding landscape, discover pieces of a scattered diary and unsettling radio exchanges that slowly piece together a deeply personal and tragic story about family, guilt, and sacrifice. This is a compact, story-driven experience designed to be completed in a single sitting. ABOVE favors atmosphere, tension, and emotional impact over traditional horror mechanics, asking not how you fight, but how you endure.
