How it feels

A gritty, claustrophobic descent through an endless elevator shaft, blending retro Hong Kong lo-fi visuals with a constant sense of psychological unease.

What players say

Players say it is a short psychological horror set entirely in a malfunctioning elevator, with a retro VHS visual style and three endings. Many praise the atmosphere but complain that getting all endings requires replaying without cutscene skips or saves, making it feel repetitive.
