Above and Below is a mixture of city building and storytelling in which you compete to build a better village above and below ground. In the game, you send your residents to complete tasks like this like exploring a cave collecting resources and building houses. Each villager has unique skills and abilities and you have to decide how best to use them. You have your own personal village field and you move the inhabitants on this field to different areas to indicate that they were given a job. Will you send Hannah on an expedition to the cave? Or should she instead spend her time teaching important skills to one of the young villagers.
