The Come Up

About

The Come Up casts you as a teenager frozen in time and shipped to a distant planet. Your body ages slowly while your mind stays trapped at 14. You scavenge resources, upgrade tools, and navigate large environments to survive and advance. The game blends platforming with exploration, requiring you to backtrack as new abilities unlock hidden paths. Movement feels tactile with a focus on verticality, letting you climb, jump, and glide through terrain shaped by both horizontal and upward progression. Developed by Rob Nally under the Brotherly label, the game leans heavily into 3D space with level design that prioritizes height as much as breadth. While community feedback remains niche, its bold take on Metroidvania structure earned praise for creative environmental puzzles. Released in 2017, it still holds appeal for players seeking a fresh twist on exploration-driven stories.
