Overview

About this game

Built as a 3D platformer, The Stairway invites you to ascend through a floating world that feels both strange and familiar. Puzzling paths twist around impossible architecture; distant structures drift like memories on the horizon. Each surface is shaded as if by hand, blurring the line between dream and drawing. There are no enemies or dialogue. It's just you and yourself, and the climb which you endure. For you, The Stairway could mean parkouring with precision through challenging and exciting obstacles. It could also mean something deeper. That's for you to find out.
