Will you climb the staircase?
This is a game that first released on PC back in 2019, whisking us off to a dilapidated estate. This place has been converted into an orphanage, as we find four girls attempting to survive, just long enough to complete their chores and find a new home.
The thing is, unknowable horrors have punctuated the history of the house, and those girls are about to learn about them, the hard way…
Whilst this is a game that has been inspired by PS2 survival horror classics such as Silent Hill and GameCube’s venerable Eternal Darkness, the narrative stylings in place are much more in line with Italian zombie horror movies; The Beyond, House by the Cemetery, and Suspiria.
Dive in to what The Glass Staircase has to offer though and you’ll find the opportunity to customize your experience with a selection of control styles, graphical modes, and CRT effects. That means you get the chance to go old-school and classic, or with some more modern takes should you so wish.

It’s been a long time since you’ve seen your parents, hasn’t it? Not to worry, girls. Just listen to the voice on the intercom. Do what they say. They’ve provided you a home. They’ve provided you food. They will make you into good girls. This old house has never treated you wrong, now has it? Now be good girls, all of you. The Master will need you to be strong during these troubling times. Remember: Good girls take their medicine. Good girls do their chores. Good girls go home.
