About this game
The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.
The city above stays dry... At the cost of yours being flooded.
In Matoki, the storms keep coming... So does the floodwater diverted from Above.
Vik works at a drainage terminal depot, watching a system that keeps someone else's home safe.
His mother was transferred Above... He was left behind.
The routes upward are sealed. There might still be a way in...
A restricted service tram leads to the flood-control annex.
Sava has a plan. Corn has a mother trapped in a clinic below. Braska has the security badge they need.
What are they going to do in the face of catastrophe?
They're telling everyone to shelter above the third floor!
Sava's confidential forecasts tell a different story...
The team needs to figure out what to do when the people are being lied to.
Vik keeps checking his mother's record...
The same employee card. The same transfer... And yet, still no answer.
Now he might finally learn why she never came back.
Braska wants his mother safe, too.
...Everyone has someone to lose.
Mother;Above is a psychological horror visual novel about a city marked for sacrifice, and what desperation makes people willing to do.
