About the Game

Above the Haze is a narrative experience about addiction, happiness, existentialism, and the meaning of life, set inside a bar in the middle of a rapidly decaying world.

Guide some toward happiness, push others deeper into dependency, help a few discover clarity, or simply ruin the rest of their day.

Watch how your actions affect the world around you.
