The Looping Room, Explained — FAQ

[h2]General questions[/h2][p][/p][h3]What kind of game is this?[/h3][p]The Floor Above is a psychological horror where you’re strapped to a chair in a looping room. You can’t move — only rotate, blink, and choose.[/p][p]Your challenge: separate reality from hallucination, survive the loop and unlock the truth. Every choice matters. [/p]

• [p]Discover the story of a man named Mike and the room he cannot escape[/p]
• [p]Don’t trust your eyes: blink and decide whether you see reality or a hallucination[/p]
• [p]Face claustrophobic nightmare anomalies [/p]
• [p]Discover hidden lore through the narrator… and Morty the cat 🐈[/p]

[h3]How is it different from other horror games?[/h3][p]Instead of running or hiding, you go on by observing. Every blink, every choice matters. It’s less about jumpscares and more about atmosphere, tension, and doubt.[/p][p][/p][h3]How long is the demo?[/h3][p]Up to 1 hour, depending on how carefully you play and your success with reaching level 9. [/p][p][/p][h3]Can I move around the room?[/h3][p]No, that’s the point. You’re stuck in a chair. At least, until you make nine right choices in sequence. Then… something happens.[/p][p][/p][h3]Is this VR?[/h3][p]Not at the moment, but we are considering a VR release in the future.[/p][p][/p][h3]Does the demo have saves or checkpoints?[/h3][p]No, but it’s short and designed for one sitting. If you exit the game, your room counter will drop to zero.[/p][p][/p][h3]What are your socials?[/h3][p]Join our Discord server, follow us on X and TikTok.[/p][p][/p][h2]Gameplay[/h2][p][/p][h3]How does blinking work?[/h3][p]It’s your way to check if something’s real — or a hallucination. If you see something wrong with the room, try to blink (right click) — if the anomaly has disappeared, it was a hallucination. If not, press the red button.[/p][p][/p][h3]What happens if I press the wrong button?[/h3][p]A wrong choice will reset your loop to zero, and you will have to start the counter again. [/p][p][/p][h3]Are there jumpscares?[/h3][p]There are some, but the main focus is psychological tension and atmosphere.[/p][p][/p][h2]Story & Lore[/h2][p][/p][h3]Will there be lore to uncover?[/h3][p]Yes, both in narration and hidden details you can piece together. Be attentive, check every detail, try every move, and you will be rewarded with knowledge.[/p][p][/p][h3]Who is the narrator?[/h3][p]That’s one of the secrets you are supposed to uncover. Also, in the full game, there will be multiple narrators each with their own story.[/p][p][/p][h3]Why is the room looping floor by floor?[/h3][p]That’s also for you to discover. Each new floor hides new anomalies and hints about the truth.[/p][p][/p][h3]What about Morty the Cat?[/h3][p]He’s real. Or is he? In the demo he makes a short appearance — in the full game, he may know more than he shows.[/p][p][/p][h2]Content & Release[/h2][p][/p][h3]What’s included in the demo?[/h3][p]1 narrator, 1 ending, 35+ anomalies, Morty’s first appearance, and 3 hidden easter eggs.[/p][p][/p][h3]And in the full game?[/h3][p]5 endings (including the true one), 145+ anomalies, multiple narrators, hours of gameplay, horrors and secrets.[/p][p][/p][h3]When is the full release planned?[/h3][p]We expect to release the full game in the end of 2025, or in the beginning of 2026. [/p][p][/p][h3]Will there be post-launch content (DLC, extra modes)?[/h3][p]There are no such plans at this time, but it’s possible. [/p][p][/p][h3]Do you plan to support mods or Steam Workshop?[/h3][p]No.[/p][p][/p][h3]Will there be localization?[/h3][p]Full English and 13 other text localizations, with more languages planned.[/p][p][/p][h3]Can I stream or record the game?[/h3][p]Absolutely — we’d love to see your reactions.
