Game wasn't what I was expecting. The endings were very underwhelming and you literally did nothing the entirety of the game other than read subtitles and choose 1/3 endings.

Pretty interesting short horror experience. The beginning feels like a playable Backrooms video, and for $3 it's hard to complain about minor bugs/issues, especially since it seems to be a first-game project. Would love to see endings fleshed out a bit more in an update or expansion, there's a lot of potential for exploring/expanding the story and world building. The voice acting is very well done. The audio is in Swedish with English subtitles, but I didn't mind -- in fact, I think it added a bit to the game's identity. Definitely placed it more in a time and space in the mind. I think the game's strong suit is with the characters and the way they provide conflicting information to the player. I think if the developers really lock onto their strengths and lean into some of these aspects they could make a killer second game/update.
A simulator of reading tiny subtitles with a single jump scare in the end. Maybe there is another jump scare in the different ending but no matter how hard I was nodding to the camera the door never opened so I wouldn't know (probably a bug but maybe it's an artistic choice, who knows) There are also graphical glitches such as horrendous screen tearing and z-fighting (the documents on desks in the office room)
https://youtu.be/L0uMfW5mJGc I was really looking forward to this game since I played the demo. I enjoyed the story and all the various endings you could get and plus it's only $3 which is great. It is still a bit rough and had a few bugs but nothing that took away from the overall game. Also I feel like not all of the endings are as good as each other but they are all unique and it doesn't make you replay the whole game to get all of them which is an awesome feature. I think it's for sure worth playing and if you want to see some game play you can check out my play through above.
In short, This game is a great laconic horror experience. Like a scary story you'll hear at night. The game does a great job being creepy as hell. It's not the monsters or anything, just you and the darkness triggers the first and strongest fears of humankind. I don't think we can call this a game, it's more of a experience, honestly, than a game.
Well, this game is a mixed bag for me. It started off pretty promising in a claustrophobic "stuck in an elevator" setting, but the promise wasn't really kept. I saw the demo some months ago on some YT LP channel and thought "wow, this could become a cool game - viruses, zombies, apocalyptic sh!t etc., right up my alley!", so I bought the full game...and it somehow still feels like a demo for a game yet to be released. ## Spoilers ahead ## There is just not happening much more in the full game than in the demo - after the intermezzo in the dark cab with the woman's voice from the outside, you have three choices: do what the woman says, exit on floor -12 and get killed instantly. Or you get out on -11, take the other elevator, walk down a corridor and die. Or you take the stairs to the office area (where nothing happens at all) or you go to the floor where Laura left the note. Nodding did nothing when I first tried, later I found out you seem to have to vigorously nod your head at the ...
I was very interested in this game after playing the demo a while back and the full game did not disappoint. There are approximately 3 different endings that you can obtain and I thought 2 of them were pretty interesting. The other one could have been expanded on a little bit but overall, I was very happy with this game. It's short (about 30 or 40 minutes to do 3 endings) but worth the $3 in my opinion. There isn't much to the gameplay itself as a good bit of the story is done on the elevator but once you make it off the elevator there are some story bits that you can find to expand the game world a bit. I did a video if you want to see what the game is like but I highly recommend playing it for yourself instead of spoiling the endings: https://youtu.be/Zmxs1NIoJS0
I know it only costs $3 but the game was a waste of time. I wasn't expecting anything too crazy but I was waiting for this games release just for the endings to be low quality. The model style is cool but It was really disappointing when it just hit a "game ended" screen after I was supposedly going to be hit on the back of the head with a bat (which never happened.) Also it's not possible to win so that exists as well.
Its claustrophobic and the story is engaging and fair-paced. The voice acting is descriptive and evokes stress when you do something the speaker in the elevator tells you not to. The one on floor -12 conveys regret of her actions, but is compelled to do what she does to survive. The ending on Floor -10 up the stairs is ambiguous but could be the good ending for you. Some camera bugs where the view spazzes like a frame skip. Walking up the stairs made me float forwards when I stopped at the top before gravity remembered to do its job. Pressing the stop button in the elevator too many times caused it to malfunction and can't continue downwards even after pressing the down button. Verdict: Good story-driven short game. Endings are easy to understand. No loose ends.
Very well done.
