My House on the 9th Floor

Your father is dead. His apartment must be cleared. Years after leaving your childhood home behind, you return to the old apartment building for one final task: empty Benjamin’s apartment on the 9th floor. But once you step inside, your phone begins receiving messages from him. The elevator becomes your only safe place. Every floor opens into a different part of the building’s memory: maintenance rooms, locked service areas, distorted corridors, and places that should not exist inside an apartment block. To reach the 9th floor, you must restore the elevator system, recover missing service parts, and complete the final reboot. But the building does not simply ask for repairs. Each floor forces you through something personal. A home that rejects you. A caretaker that demands obedience. A signal that carries messages from the dead. A ward that tries to classify who you are. And above it all, Benjamin is waiting. Features Elevator-as-safe-zone horror: The elevator is the only place that feels safe. Every time the doors open, you decide whether to step out into another floor or stay inside a little longer. A personal psychological horror story: Return to your late father’s apartment and face a building shaped by memory, guilt, family, and identity. Distorted floors with unique gameplay: Each floor has its own psychological sequence, from maintenance puzzles and service panels to liminal corridors, false homes, and classification tests. Phone messages from Benjamin: Your father is dead, but his messages keep arriving. Some guide you. Some accuse you. Some should not be possible.
