What is ABOVE?
In this free, single-player, first-person adventure, you play Joyce, a park ranger stranded beside her disabled car on a remote desert road in Idaho. You explore open terrain, use observation tools and temporary shelter, and complete randomized environmental objectives while diary fragments and radio exchanges reveal a story about family, guilt, and sacrifice.
For you if...
- +you prefer short stories designed for a single sitting
- +you prefer avoiding danger rather than fighting it directly
Not for you if...
- −you want relaxed exploration without the risk of death
