About
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.
A minimalist survival experience with environmental fight back mechanics
Sound-based tension where your actions can attract unwanted attention
Exploration in a wide, open desert with limited and temporary safety

Completed it in 50 mins, got most of the achievments. the pacing is tight, the visuals punch way above what i expect from free titles, and the way the threat forces you to plan your route between cover is clever. Frankly honestly impressive.
Well it's a very short game lol. I like the setting and the idea, but in the end there's not much to do. You'll run around, turn on generators and flee from a cloud. Well and... that's it. It's a shame that a great idea turns boring so quickly. Rating: 3/10 IMO

really tense little experience. the creature AI keeps you moving. it does get a bit repetitive by the last few generators but for free i cant complain much. good audio work
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Loved the human element and the environment. Can't wait to see more from this dev. <3
Fun and creepy. Worth the download.
Performance was solid for me: locked 60 on a 3060 at 1440p. Only nitpick is the stamina has no indicator so you kinda guess... still recommend
its Ok. Short and does the job for a free download. Nothing amazing but i didnt regret the time. The atmosphere carries it more than the gameplay imo
Инди-экшен с элементами платформера, где игрокам предстоит исследовать мир сверху вниз и сражаться с врагами. Плюсы: Захватывающий геймплей — динамичные сражения и интересные уровни; Атмосферное оформление — стильная графика и звуковое сопровождение; Разнообразие врагов — каждый противник уникален и требует особой тактики. Минусы: Однотипные локации — некоторые зоны могут повторяться; Сложность управления — возможны проблемы с точностью движений; Краткость кампании — игра может быть пройдена за короткое время. Итог: понравится любителям экшен-платформеров. Захватывающий геймплей и атмосферное оформление делают игру увлекательной, несмотря на возможные однотипные локации и краткость.
Look its rough around the edges, the foliage shimmers and the run animation sound is a bit much lol. But underneath theres a genuinly good idea and i had fun. with some patches this could be great.
Симулятор смерти.
