About the Game

Description:

Lift/Shift is a horror puzzle game where you play as a research operative of a secret institution investigating a mysterious, ever-changing apartment. Armed with a specialized camera, you must document the transformations of objects across multiple floors of an anomalous building.

Be careful: any object can shift between realities, and making correct photos is the only way to stabilize the environment. Make mistakes, and you risk destabilizing not just the apartment, but potentially the entire fabric of reality.

Features:

  • Reality-shifting gameplay

  • Atmospheric, minimalist design

  • Increasing complexity with each floor
