About the Game

DO NOT BE AFRAID

Enter the derelict domain of The Maker - a powerful and misguided zealot whose dreams become your nightmare.

Follow the path. Continue the work. Do not tarry.

Note: While Jacob’s Ladder features unsettling environments and sequences, it is not a hardcore horror game and currently contains no jumpscares.

YOU ARE THE SOLUTION

  • Swap bodies with other testing units to solve intriguing puzzles in first-person.

  • Change your identity to use intuitive tools such as two-way phase fields.

C.O.R.E. CONCEPTS

  • Manipulate the environment by stacking and placing precious C.O.R.E. units.

  • Use cores to give life to other testing units - and when no longer needed, take it away.

  • Harness unique abilities from cores to creatively navigate trials.
