Above

About

You play as Maryam in Above, a single player adventure where you take control of an airplane to explore islands floating on a giant ocean. The story starts when she breaks her people's strict ban on flying to find her lost brother Elm. You navigate through the skies while upgrading and modifying your plane to handle tougher challenges. The world hides abominations beneath the waves, so you must stay alert while uncovering the truth behind the myths your community believes. Mighty Moth crafted a tight experience that focuses on flight mechanics rather than combat. Players can modify their aircraft at various stations to improve speed or maneuverability as they progress. The game runs smoothly on both PC and Mac without needing complex setups. It feels like a personal quest where every flight reveals more about the world and the dangers lurking below. The developer keeps the pacing steady so you never feel overwhelmed by the scope of your journey.
