About

Jacob’s Ladder is a haunting first-person puzzler where YOU are the solution. Swap bodies and stack puzzle pieces to please The Maker. Question the nature of the soul and earn your humanity - before it’s too late.

DO NOT BE AFRAID

Enter the derelict domain of The Maker - a powerful and misguided zealot whose dreams become your nightmare.

Follow the path. Continue the work. Do not tarry.

Note: While Jacob’s Ladder features unsettling environments and sequences, it is not a hardcore horror game and currently contains no jumpscares.
