THIS GAME IS AMAZING!!! I wanted to only download it and then go to sleep but somehow I ended up playing the whole thing...(Fyi if you were interested in a Polish translation for this game I'd love to take care of that (^-^)♡)

THIS GAME IS AWESOMEEE, i love the drawings, the sounds, everything!, as an hispanic player i love the fact that its not difficult to understand the things you have to do, 10/10 im playing again some day of course

I'm in love with this game, the very last ending is ominous ; kinda sad we don't actually know what's happening but still it's GREAT

(1 edit)

Hello! I downloaded the game on my laptop and when I try to use the left and right keys to look around, it isn't working 😭😭, is it just mine?

(+1)

heyy, since I'm experiencing the same problem, I'm just wondering if you maybe found a way to solve it? or if you know what caused it?

I absolutely love this game!! Everything from the vibe, ending, story, characters, sounds, rooms, and art was perfect!! However, I wish you could keep the progress after obtaining the ending!! Just so i could get the deaths i missed <3

Love this game for its uniqueness and short loops, but for some reason my arrow keys wouldn't work, which resulted in not me being able to progress further and finish the game. A real bummer! I wish I'd be able to finish it, but I'm stuck now, having only gotten a couple of endings.

Update: Because I thought I'd never be able to progress, I watched the remaining endings on YT and found out later that my mechanical keyboard was keeping me from looking around and up & down. I was able to finish the game after all. The game gave me chills throughout the gameplay.

Big fan of Studio Investigrave, also after having played Dead Plate earlier today.

This game is SPECTACULAR! Such whimsy, horror and chemistry all packaged into one singular elevator ride! While some of the progression can be tricky to figure out, it is still worth it to proceed and see what happens at the end!

This game was absolutely and EXPERIENCE, the art is obviously gorgeous and the first thing that grabbed my attention but everything from the story to the music is solid too.

Even tho I am dumb the puzzles were very fun and the elevator (and rooms) feel really uneasy and, dare I say, liminal.

I played the game a couple of times and got all endings (minus the secret one) and the amount of small details in the game is pretty cool, like all the coworker lines in retrospective, the old room and saving the rat!

My only suggestion would be to maybe consider not locking endings like choosing the wrong (right?) meat to cut locks out of a dead and then you have to replay and it could be mildly annoying not for how amazing this game is, but still something to consider.

Amazing job, keep up the good work!

The art is amazing and the game is so fun! The rat part made me laugh so much, and so many deaths are so nonsensical it's hilarious. Speaking of, I love how nonsensical the whole game is, really nothing makes sense: why is there a door there? A giant mouth with perfect teeth? Nuclear waste?? We just don't know! And we're not going to explain! You really need a game like this sometimes. It's so much fun, a whole adventure inside a small elevator. Thank you for this!

absolutely lovee this game

(1 edit) (+9)

loved the game! just wanna make a psa to people wanting to get the secret ending- be careful not to soft lock yourself out of it like I did by succeeding on floor 4 before you've experienced that death. I unfortunately got the item from that floor not realizing that I wouldn't be able to trigger that death anymore even when coming back to that floor after dying in other ways, and this made me unable to get every death and therefore unable to get the secret ending:(

hello Rachel I love your work!!! :D

I’m a creative story writer and was wondering if I could make a story that is similar and in inspired by elevator hitch please? :3
