Looking Up I See Only A Ceiling

Developer: silver978[1]
Publishers: IndieArk
Platforms: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux
Released internationally: March 9, 2023[1]


GraphicsIcon.png This game has unused graphics.


Looking Up I See Only A Ceiling is a point and click game about a stressed young woman and her attic. Believe it or not, this released on PC first and mobile after; playing in 1080p with massive black bars on each side of the screen really is the intended way to play this game.

The game's assets are packed into a single large .pck file like most Godot games, so paths are relative to the recovered project produced by Godot RE Tools.

This article is a work in progress.
...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.
Notes: Feel free to edit even while still in userspace. Things to do in order:
  • Download and decompile all other versions of the game.
  • Ensure nothing has been missed and consider asking for feedback before next step.
  • Upload the images, remove the nocat parameters, double check layout, move to main namespace, and create developer and publisher pages.
  • Document the prerelease demo. It has everything from the final game and a ton more unused content.
  • Document the DLC. While the DLC PCK is not encrypted, some of the files in it are encrypted. Use this tool to decrypt them.

Unused graphics

Unused fonts

There are many unused fonts in fonts/. HopeGold.ttf and SinsGold.ttf are from the "Humble Fonts - Gold" collection by Eeve Somepx.

Unused detail

Most of the images are in the very high resolution of 1440×2560 i.e. 1440p or 2K, allowing some fine details to be seen when ripped that are not normally visible due to the downscale to 180×247 or obstruction by UI elements. Only images with noteworthy details are shown here.
