About This Game

—A human being can be made.

Torii makes copies of people.
For the right price, it makes no difference whether they are living or dead.

In a laboratory sealed away underground, he has long treated it as nothing more than a job.

One day, a man comes to Torii with a request:
recreate his dead son.

It should have been just another job.

But what is it that has been born?
A human being?
Or merely something that resembles one?

The one who creates.
The one who has lost.
The one who was created.

As their desires and obsessions begin to intertwine, the boundaries of what Torii believed it meant to be human slowly begin to unravel.

What does it mean to be human?
What gives a life its worth?

A story of nearly 100,000 Japanese characters, centered on its characters, their emotions, and the choices that define them.

DORII —stairway to heaven— is a psychological horror visual novel about cloning, the darker impulses of human nature, loss, love, and what it means to be human.
