About This Demo

Demo for Mother;Above, a psychological horror visual novel.

Get a first look at Matoki, an impoverished city beneath the prosperous streets of Above. When storms arrive, floodwater is diverted downward to protect the people overhead.

Follow Vik, a drainage depot worker whose mother was transferred Above while he remained below. He still checks her old employee record. He still imagines what he would say to her.

Now another emergency order has arrived. The routes upward are sealed. Residents are told to shelter above the third floor.

But the official instructions offer little comfort in a city that keeps being sacrificed.

Somewhere Above are the controls that could save Matoki... and perhaps an answer to why Vik's mother never came back.

This demo introduces the world and central conflict of Mother;Above: a city facing disaster, and a worker caught between the people around him and the mother he cannot let go of.
