About Jacob's Ladder
DO NOT BE AFRAID
Enter the derelict domain of The Maker - a powerful and misguided zealot whose dreams become your nightmare.
Follow the path. Continue the work. Do not tarry.
Note: While Jacob’s Ladder features unsettling environments and sequences, it is not a hardcore horror game and currently contains no jumpscares.
YOU ARE THE SOLUTION
- Swap bodies with other testing units to solve intriguing puzzles in first-person.
- Change your identity to use intuitive tools such as two-way phase fields.
C.O.R.E. CONCEPTS
- Manipulate the environment by stacking and placing precious C.O.R.E. units.
- Use cores to give life to other testing units - and when no longer needed, take it away.
- Harness unique abilities from cores to creatively navigate trials.
