About the Game

Trapped on the roof of a deserted building, you must solve puzzles on each floor to escape. With every locked door, new secrets unfold. Can you figure out what you must do to descend, or will you be trapped forever?

There are a total of 7 floors, each with its own set of unique challenges designed to test your wits, patience, and nerve. Think of it like an escape room, except its a building... with every floor more twisted than the last. The puzzles range from clever riddles to intricate mechanisms, and one wrong move could lead to deadly consequences. Time is ticking—can you outsmart the building before it’s too late? (There is actually no timer, but this adds to the suspense doesn't it?) Take your time!

And this is just the beginning. Future updates will introduce new areas, puzzles, and twists that will further unravel the story. Stay sharp, because the deeper you go, the more the building’s secrets begin to evolve.
