The compulsion to reach the roof overrides everything, but the path is blocked by broken stairs and locked doors, so players must knock on residents\u0026#39; doors and trade items for a way up.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are no ghosts or monsters. The threat is the player\u0026#39;s own body: health drains over time, and hunger and thirst meters force players to eat spoiled food and drink dirty water. Death sends them back, but the building never changes, so knowledge from previous runs becomes the main tool for climbing faster.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePicca is a Germany-based developer and artist known for the roguelite shooter Beat Invaders and the desktop lava lamp MeltyFlow.
