Description

One line

Build it together. Fall off it together.

Short (268 characters)

It's 1932, you're an ironworker, and the beam you're carrying needs two people. Build a skyscraper with 2–6 friends using nothing but steel, timber and proximity voice chat. There is no safety equipment. There is a deadline.

Long

A beam needs two people. You and your crew are non-union ironworkers forty floors up, setting steel on a building with no railings, no harnesses and a foreman who does not care. One of you takes each end. Whatever you do to the beam, the beam does to your partner.

The floor you finish is the floor you stand on next shift. Every shift you go one floor higher on the building you built yesterday. The wind gets worse as the clock runs down. The last minute of a shift is always the worst minute.

Falling is the point. Nobody is eliminated and nobody sits out. You go over the edge, you ragdoll a hundred and thirty metres past your friends, and you ride the hoist back up while they listen to you complain about it on the radio.

Proximity voice is the game, not a feature. Two channels, always live. Up close you hear each other properly. At range you drop to a thin crackling site radio. One floor down, you are muffled through the decking. You are never cut off — you are just increasingly hard to understand, usually at the exact moment it matters.

Then everyone argues about it. The end-of-shift board hands out Longest Fall, Most Steel Dropped, Walked Into The Most People, Foreman's Favourite and Liability. It is designed to start fights.

Key art

Every capsule is a frame of the real game with the game's own typography over it, generated by a script from a live scene.

Built in Godot 4.7.1 (MIT). Steam integration via GodotSteam (MIT). Type is Oswald, used under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

All audio is synthesised at runtime — struck steel, body impacts, per-material footsteps, the shift whistle and the wind bed are DSP recipes rendered in code at boot. There are no audio files in the project and no sample packs.

All geometry is generated in code from primitives, coloured from a fixed palette. No models were imported or purchased, and no AI-generated imagery appears anywhere in the game, the capsules or the trailer.
