You've been hired to keep watch in a mysterious building with an infinite stairwell. Your task is simple: investigate each floor for strange phenomena. If you find an anomaly, be careful. Test your skills on the global leaderboard and in the weekly challenge event.

Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Aug 21 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
It's your first day as a security officer in a mysterious building designed by an unknown architect. Within its vast stairwell, you are tasked with inspecting the floors for reported strange phenomena. Make your way through the building and carefully choose which way to go based on your findings.
If everything is normal, proceed upstairs.
If you notice an anomaly, go downstairs, quickly.
Do not miss too many anomalies.
The Stairwell is a psychological horror game inspired by anomaly loop games such as The Exit 8, with a new vertical dimension of massive scale. There are over 50 anomalies to uncover between all difficulties. You can see how many are left to find after you win a game. Anomalies that you haven't seen will usually appear first.
Compete against the world for the fastest game completion time and see how you rank against your friends. Find your name highlighted on the leaderboard in the color according to your ranking.
Customize the difficulty of your playthrough. In nightmare mode, beware: the lights are out. Can you find anomalies in total darkness with your candle?
With a new challenge appearing every Friday, play a variation of the game with different environments and anomalies. Your score will go on the weekly leaderboard.

"Es reicht! Ich schwörs. Das ist wirklich das allerletzte Mal, dass ich ne Einladung von so nem geheimnisvollen Maler-Typen annehme. Ich such doch nur jemanden, der mir meine neue Bude richtig tip top anstreicht... ... doch alle Maler weit und breit waren voll ausgebucht. Es ist zum verzweifeln! Der einzige, den ich im reichlich angestaubten Telefonbuch von vor tausend Jahren noch finden konnte, war dieser seltsame M.C.Escher. Nichtmal ne Internetpräsenz hat der, scheint son übelst verschrobener Heini zu sein. Pah! Handwerker eben, was soll man machen? Da hält sich doch jeder für nen echten DaVinci, nur weil er nen Pinsel halbwegs gerade halten kann. Und eingebildet sind die Handwerker auch geworden. Wann musste ich das letzte Mal bei nem Maler persönlich vorsprechen, ob ich denn würdig wäre, dass er mir die Bude streicht? HÄH??? Der spinnt wohl, aber in der Not bleibt mir wohl keine Wahl. Der Geisteswissenschaftler (nicht zu verwechseln mit Geisterwissenschaftler) von Welt, wie ich einer bin, kann natürlich absolut nix mit den eigenen Händen schaffen. Ich brauche Hilfe, wo es nur geht. Meckern kann ich aber ganz ausgezeichnet, wenn mir was nicht passt. Und. Mir. Passt. Nie. Etwas. Doch es hilft ja nix. Nun bin ich schonmal hier und eins muss ich diesem Escher ja lassen. Von Räumlichkeit versteht der wohl ne Menge. Seine Werkstatt wirkte von außen extrem viel kleiner, als von innen. Der nutzt wutzt wohl jeden Quadratmillimeter dreimal aus, alle Achtung. Von Farben versteht der aber so gar nichts! Alles schwarz, weiß und manchmal durchzogen von einem Tupferchen Grau in Grau. Na toll! Und die Treppen sind echt ne Last in dieser Bude. Gefühlte dreitausend Stufen hab ich schon erklommen und hab dennoch das Gefühl, nicht einen Meter vorangekommen zu sein. Es ist wie verhext. Außerdem scheint sich mit jeder der immer gleich aussehenden Etagen ne Kleinigkeit zu verändern, ist ja schlimmer als im Wimmelbild hier. Da hängt mal ein Bild schief, dort ist ne Lampe, wo zuvor noch keine hing und am Ende dieses Stockwerks wartet ein grausig aussehender Horrorclown auf mich, um... öhm... ... tja... ... hihihihi... ... hallo Mister Clown... ... also ich scheine mich wohl verirrt zu haben... ... kennen Sie zufällig einen gewissen Herrn Esche... ...WAHHHHHRGHHHHH!!!" Tja, lieber Leser. Kunst kommt von Können und zum Glück kannst Du ja nicht so viel. Außer Games zocken natürlich und allen voran kannst Du Dir total furchtbar überkomplexe Anomalien in Exit 8 artigen Horror Games merken... ... ODER?!? Und wehe, Du übersiehst eine... ja dann! Dann entgeht Dir vielleicht das Ende eines Genre Vertreters, der wirklich richtig toll gelungen ist, endlich mal wieder frische Ideen ins wahnsinnig abgedroschene Genre einfließen lässt und sogar auf technischer Ebene nicht versagt. Also wenn das keine wahre Kunst ist. Na gut, soweit gehen wir mal nicht gleich, doch eins sei gesagt: Das hier ist seit einer ordentlichen Weile das erste Anomalien-Such-Game, dass mich nicht nach drei Sekunden total anödet. Und das will was heißen. Denn ich hab sie anfangs wirklich ALLE gezockt, kannste selbst überprüfen und Dir alle Rezis durchlesen, die Guten und die Fürchterlichen. Doch irgendwann wurde es lahm. Genau wie bei den guten alten Auto-Kloppern und den Arbeits-Simulatoren quillt diese Nische über vor Scams, billigen Kopien und Asset Flips noch und nöcher. Hier hingegen hat sich jemand endlich mal wieder Gedanken gemacht und vor allem: Hier konnte auch jemand was! Die Anomalien reichen von Normalo-Ware bis hin zu kreativen Überraschungsmomenten, sogar kleine Schrecknisse sind verbaut und zwischen den Runs (oder sogar auch innerhalb) lockert das eine oder andere kleine Intermezzo die immer gleiche Such-Hatz wohltuend auf. Klasse! Dabei gibts Sound, der kaum einer Erwähnung wert ist und ne Optik, die durch Stilsicherheit und kalt-ästhetischen Look glänzt. Nicht übel. Und auch beim Content wird geklotzt und nicht gekleckert. Es gibt auch im zigsten Durchlauf noch was Neues zu erforschen und die Schwierigkeit zieht teils dramatisch monströs an... wenn mans denn drauf anlegt, sich selbst ein wenig zu geißeln... Du kriegst also für den Preis eines Döners (in Berlin immer noch: drei Döner und niemand will wissen, was da dann drin ist...) endlich mal wieder einen frischen, kreativen Such-Spaß mit ganz wenig Horror, dafür aber vielen neuen Ideen. Kann man nicht meckern, oder? Haben wir im Stream auch nicht, guckste hier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5rXrttQCxc&list=PLas6hAqPj_0_LmzsVvgpw7VgDX6YdwCCl Und beim suchen, endlose, endlose, eeeeendlose Treppen steigen, Deine nun stählernen Waden bewundern und Dich manchmal ein bisschen gruseln wünsch ich Dir wie immer... ... Viel Spaß :-) Und hey, wenn´s Dir gefallen hat, ne Runde von mir zu lesen, dann klick hier: [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/41622336/] Fieldy´s Game Gedankenfetzen[/url] und da gibts mehr von mir auf meiner Kuratoren-Seite. Schmökern for free: Also stell Dir nen Tee bereit und viel Spaß beim Lesen... Ach so, fast vergessen, guck in meinen Stream und auf YouTube vorbei und viel Spaß beim berieseln lassen: https://www.twitch.tv/fieldysgg https://www.youtube.com/@FieldysGG

Oyun gerçekten çok iyi düşünülmüş. Grafikler, atmosfer, konu… Hepsi tam bir korku gerilimi yaşatıyor. Fakat dürüst olayım, kendi beceriksizliğim yüzünden doğru düzgün oynayamadım. Buna rağmen yapımcının emeğine ve Türkçe dil desteği eklemesine içtenlikle teşekkür ediyorum. Böyle kaliteli bir oyunu kendi dilimizde görmek çok güzel. 👏 İlgisini çekenler, oyunu denemeden önce YouTube kanalımda çektiğim videoya da göz atabilir. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPZvCYfPhTk
흔한 8번출구 장르의 게임. 이상현상을 발견하면서 옥상까지 도달하는게 목적입니다. 별 다른건 없었고, 재미는 보통정도의 게임으로 보여집니다. 이상현상도 재밌는것도 있었고, 무서운 것도 몇개 있었고, 그래도 다른 같은 장르의 게임과 다른 점이 리더보드를 제대로 활용했다는 점이 겠네요. 모든 난이도 마다 순위가 정해지고 특히 챌린저 모드는 매주 금요일날 초기화가 되어 맵의 오브젝트들이 랜덤으로 바뀌네요. 도전 욕구 있으신 분들은 매주 순위 경쟁하셔도 될듯 합니다.

Yes, I've spent over 17hrs on this game so far! And I got top spot on the Leaderboard for Normal and Hard modes (bet that won't last too long). I wanted to capture all the anomalies, hence why the endless repetition to trigger them all, and still I didn't get some of the Nightmare anomalies! I've played "a lot" of Anomaly games and this is decent. The devs game it to me for free and I helped them out a bit with some bugs before release. But they are keen to keep on developing the game, add more to it, so that is good to see. There's one jumpscare in there that gets me every time... those who have played it already would know the one! No spoilers here... Over 50 anomalies in the game (53 at time of writing this review) and I've listed the ones I found here: https://youtu.be/gfTyZzU_Lg8 However, don't watch it if you want to experience it for yourself! :-) Decent anomaly game Recommended!
Great anomaly hunt game. If you like Exit 8 and Platform 8 etc, you'll love this too as it is arguably better than those games as there's more variety and some are REALLY hard to spot. The weekly challenge mode gives you the choice to keep coming back too for more varied fun on top of the base game.
Genuinely fun. I wish the community was bigger to see more reactions and to have an accurate up to date list of anomalies. The weekly challenges are fun twists and can be a slight relief to the stress the original gamemodes give me.
This is one of those horror games that doesn’t rely on jump scares. Instead, it makes you paranoid in the best way. You're climbing endless floors, checking for “anomalies”—but the changes can be subtle. Like... really subtle. Sometimes it’s a door that wasn’t there. Sometimes it’s a tiny icon shift that makes you question reality and your eyesight. I played a pre-release version and it was already running smooth, with great atmosphere, and a solid amount of replay value. There’s a leader-board, a weekly challenge, and nightmare mode (aka: bring a spare pair of pants). I found heaps of anomalies on my first go and still missed some obvious ones. I also failed to save the dog. I’m not proud of that. Big props to the devs for putting love into the details. If you're into games that test your attention to detail and don’t hold your hand, this one’s a must-play. https://youtu.be/pYr8uDw5mGg
As far as Anomaly Hunting games go, this is one of my favorites! It has every flavor of Anomaly and really uses the space given! Silly, scary, cleaver, you name it this game most likely has it! Also, you can save a dog! Who doesn't love saving dogs?!
man i really love this anomaly game alot i do every new challenge every friday
Very fun anomaly hunting game. At normal mode, it was just the right amount of spooky, interesting, while keeping me guessing. You can tell love went into the design.
