Stairs

About

Stairs is a first-person horror game where you play as journalist Christopher Adams. You investigate the disappearances of three individuals by exploring eerie locations and piecing together fragmented stories. The game focuses on exploration and environmental storytelling, with minimal combat and heavy emphasis on atmosphere. Each chapter reveals glimpses into the missing persons' lives through scattered documents and cryptic audio logs. Inspired by true events, Stairs leans into psychological tension rather than jump scares. Players often note the unsettling environments and the way the narrative unfolds through subtle clues. With a small but dedicated following, it’s a slow-burn experience that lingers. Released in 2015, it’s still praised for its moody visuals and the way it blurs the line between reality and fiction.
