Family Friendly Gaming News
SEATTLE – Sept. 16, in the year of our Lord 2025 –
Indie publisher tinyBuild and debut studio Fantastic Signals, a
new team of veteran developers whose past credits include
Pathologic 2 and Ori and the Will of the Wisps, are pleased
today to unveil The Lift, a first-person, narrative-driven,
supernatural handyman simulator coming to PC in 2026, with
console versions to follow. Renovate a massive abandoned
research complex with eerie mysteries around every corner in
this innovative title where house-flipping gameplay and
mind-bending storytelling combine in a highly interactive world
inspired by retrofuturistic Soviet sci-fi.
Fantastic Signals is drawing from their experience working on
Pathologic 2 to weave immersive sim elements into The Lift and
introduce multiple unique twists into a genre that usually
focuses on repairs, renovations, and cleaning.
“I'm thrilled to finally unveil what we've been working on for
the past three years, and looking forward to fans' reactions and
the feedback from the first Steam playtest. This game
encapsulates everything we love about rich worldbuilding,
captivating stories, and engaging systems-driven gameplay,” said
Ivan Slovtsov, Founder and Game Director at Fantastic Signals.
“The Lift introduces multiple twists into the genre. For
example, players will use electrical engineering concepts to fix
and operate intricate, interconnected machines – all while
exploring this mysterious world inspired by the works of the
Strugatsky brothers and the SCP Foundation.”
