Step into the shoes of an engineer tasked with investigating and restoring what was once humanity's most advanced research facility – the Institute. Getting the job done isn’t just about what you do, but how you do it. Whether you start with cosmetic repairs or larger multistep "boss device" projects, every push, pull, click or clean is designed to be supernaturally satisfying in its animation, response and audio design, delivering an almost ASMR-like experience. 

About The Lift

The Lift is an eerie, story-driven handyman simulator in which you renovate and explore a massive research facility abandoned after a mysterious incident. Set in a highly interactive world inspired by Soviet science fiction, The Lift puts a surreal twist on the handyman gameplay formula, tasking players with a wide range of jobs from vacuuming reality-distorting anomalies and collecting fuel from robotic bees to reviving interdimensional satellite dishes and repairing sentient reactors.

Interested in getting your hands on the latest in-development build? Sign up for the June 14 closed playtest on Steam, and join The Lift’s Discord for details on how to participate in future closed playtests!

The Lift is available to wishlist today on Steam, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. For the latest news and info, visit www.theliftgame.com, and follow the team’s developer diaries and updates on Steam and X/Twitter.
