Revealed a few weeks back, developer Steelkrill Studio’s upcoming “anomaly loop horror” title The Stairway 7 has now locked down a May 17 release date. The P.T.-like game also has a new trailer to coincide with the release date announcement.
Created by the same folks behind Rotten Flesh, The Stairway 7 is an endless loop anomaly hunter game where you are stuck in a endless loop of stairways (with a cat!), and you have to carefully observe your surroundings in order to reach the exit. Anomalies are watching, and ready to hunt you down. Don’t take them with you up the stairways to the exit, as each time you do, the entities will hurt you. Eventually, they will kill you.
In order to avoid being hurt/killed in The Stairway 7, each time you spot an anomaly, you must head back down the stairs in order to banish the anomaly. If you don’t find anomalies, then you can continue up the stairways. Sounds simple, right? However, things get more difficult when you must memorize the environment and your surroundings to find any discrepancies.
Luckily, you’re not totally devoid of any help. You’ll find notes for secrets, medicine to heal and more which you can manage in your inventory. Be careful, as there are different type of anomalies in The Stairway 7, with some hiding in plain sight.
Currently, you can wishlist The Stairway 7 on Steam.
