What frightens Your crew of convicts rides a living elevator down through an endless building full of traps and anomalies. The elevator is hungry and eats fuel or flesh, including you, and when the siren of the Samosbor sounds, an anomaly that kills everything in its path, you must drop everything and run back to the cabin.
Content: blood, body parts, murder, violence, drug and alcohol use.

KLETKA is a co-op horror roguelike for up to six players about descending through an endless building in a living elevator that wants to eat you. You explore deadly floors for fuel and repair parts, feed the elevator and run back to it before the Samosbor, an anomaly no one survives, sweeps the floor.

About KLETKA

KLETKA is a co-op horror roguelike by Callback and ln404. It came out in Early Access on Steam in December 2024 and left it on 19 February 2026, when it also arrived on PlayStation 4 and 5 and Xbox, with a Nintendo Switch version following in April 2026. Sobaka Studio publishes the console versions. You play one of the most dangerous criminals, sentenced to descend into the depths of the Gigastructure, an endlessly expanding building, in a cage of an elevator called Kletka, the Russian word for cage.

The elevator is alive and hungry. It runs on fuel and needs repairs, and when the fuel runs dry it demands meat: an enemy's, or a teammate's. At each stop the crew steps out onto a floor laid out differently each run, through dark corridors, tiled rooms and burning brick halls, to scavenge fuel canisters, repair parts, weapons and valuables while traps, anomalies and monsters wait in the building.

The main fear is the Samosbor, a mysterious anomaly that kills anything in its path. Its siren sounds at random, and then everyone has to drop what they are doing and run for the elevator, the one place it cannot reach. Every stop is a risk, and a slow teammate can be left behind.

Up to six players can go down together online, with crossplay between platforms, and the store page is open about the joke at its centre: friends survive better when they work together, but friends also make good fuel. The game can be played solo too, though reviews say it is at its best with a group. A main run takes about five hours by HowLongToBeat's count. It suits groups who enjoyed Lethal Company or R.E.P.O. and want a darker, stranger setting with a single cramped cabin as home.

Tips

Listen for the siren at all times; the elevator is the only safe place from the Samosbor.
Do not wander far from the elevator alone, since every stop could be your last.
Keep track of the elevator's hunger and feed it before it chooses its own meal.
Work out who scouts and who carries before each stop so nobody is left behind.
