Looking Up I See Only A Ceiling

You follow a student under pressure from her studies as ordinary life gives way to unsettling scenes. The story unfolds from her perspective, moving between her apartment and distorted visions.

Explore rooms and click on objects to inspect or interact with them, prompting the protagonist's thoughts or opening new areas. The experience combines point-and-click exploration with visual-novel-style storytelling.

There are three endings to discover, and completing the story unlocks an Explore mode with additional lore. A separate add-on continues the story with further scenes and content.

Many reviewers connect with the portrayal of anxiety, study pressure, and feeling trapped, and describe the story as emotionally affecting or comforting. The hand-drawn visuals and uneasy atmosphere also receive frequent praise. Others find the writing too blunt or shallow and the base game very short; some say the add-on provides substantial story that the main game lacks.
