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.

I am a BIG fan of horror anomaly games. But picky at the same time. Most of the time its always the same. But then there are a few that can do it right. The fact that its always bright light setting also makes it stand out to me. It doesn't always have to be a horror like setting for it to work. This was really well done. and i plan on going through it again and seeing what others i have yet to experience. great game!
Приятная игрушка, по поиску аномалий. Осторожно тут есть клоун! Скорее спасите собачку!
The first stairwell climbing anomaly game where I didn't kill my wife by the end of it. But seriously where is my wife and why hasn't she been killed? Instead I rescued a dog? Bleh I would rather be killing my wife. This is an anomaly hunting game but it's missing the biggest part, a story which feeds you small details of how you brutally killed your own wife. I recommend this if you are the kind of person who would rather save a dog than kill your own wife.
The Stairwell ist ein solide gemachtes Anomalie-Horrorspiel mit guter Grafik und dichter Atmosphäre. Das Konzept basiert stark auf genauer Beobachtung – man muss sehr aufmerksam sein, um Veränderungen zu erkennen. Die plötzlich auftretenden Ereignisse sorgen zwar für Spannung, wiederholen sich vom Spielgefühl her aber recht schnell. Technisch und visuell ist das Spiel stark umgesetzt und für Fans von Anomalie-Horror sicher interessant. Für mich persönlich war das Gameplay jedoch zu eintönig und auf Dauer nicht motivierend genug. Für Genre-Fans passend, für alle anderen eher Geschmackssache.
Cool anomaly hunting game. Some jump scares! Video: https://youtu.be/eBINSTdnX_k
Was ein umfangreiches Game mit krassen Wendungen. Irgendwie verspielt denkt man zu Beginn und dann kommt der erste jumpscare. Es ist sehr gut gemacht und für ein Esxit8 Like Game auch sehr gut. Viele Anomalien waren zu obvious, das mit dem Treppengang für normal und nicht normal habe ich zu Beginn nicht ganz verstanden aber das ist nicht schlimm.
[b]😂 Recomendado[/b] [b]The Stairwell[/b] é um jogo sobre subir escadas. Só isso. E mesmo assim, dá medo. Você entra achando que é tranquilo, dá dois lances e já começa a olhar pra trás sem motivo nenhum. Não tem jumpscare barato, não tem monstro aparente… só a sensação constante de que algo está errado (e provavelmente está). O jogo prova que o verdadeiro terror não é o desconhecido — é subir escadas infinitas em silêncio absoluto, esperando que nada aconteça enquanto tudo acontece na sua cabeça. Curto, simples e traumatizante. [b]Nunca mais subi escada em paz depois desse jogo[/b]. 🏃♂️🪜😰
상당히 쉬움 광대 귀여움 나이트 메어까지 전부 클리어 헀음
難易度ノーマルで30分程で犬を助けてクリアしました。 難易度はノーマル、ハード、ナイトメア、チャレンジがあります。 操作性は良いです。 ピエロとか出てきますが、個人的にホラー要素はあんまり感じられないので、それを求めない人にはまぁまぁオススメです。
