Lifted

Lifted is an adventure about Ari, who sets out to earn extra credit and accidentally becomes the wingman in a time-traveling heist. He helps his physics professor, Professor Raventhorpe, woo the history teacher while searching for the lost Tiara. The story features heart, humor and 80s movie magic, with voice acting by Joe Gaudet as Ari, Ray O'Hare as Professor Raventhorpe and Evan Widjaja as Julius.

Explore and solve

You follow clues, solve environmental puzzles and use fluid movement to make your way through the world. Professor Raventhorpe provides the “Vision,” while you handle the manual labor. Wholesome platforming gives way to faster sequences when villains appear or an avalanche begins, and the only way out is through.

Travel through time

Professor Raventhorpe’s “Anytime Elevator” travels through time and space, with floor numbers corresponding to points in history. For example, selecting Floor 1712 and aligning the map with the Caribbean takes you to pirate-infested Tortuga in 1712. The Elevator gets the time right, but often lands somewhere other than the intended location.

The crew

• Ari: a slacker who just wants to go home.
• Professor Raventhorpe: a genius willing to do anything for love.
• Julius: a chinchilla and the only one who knows what he’s doing.
