The Elevator by Orion Five
Description
You find yourself in a mysterious hotel with an elevator that can only go up.
Can you uncover its secrets and find the tools you need to escape?
The Concept
We started with the concept that we want to build an infinite elevator that lets the player explore the floors and rooms of a cursed hotel. The player has to acquire various tools and hints that let him solve simple puzzles to progress through the game. The theme comes back in the player's quest to find all the tools he needs, starting with none.
Reality
We only did two days of the jam. Making a first person game is always a daunting task, so we struggled to get very far with the game. We already cut corners using some code and assets from a previous jam. But setting up a good mood, proper puzzles and making all the rooms turned out to be quite time consuming. We might continue working on this game for another jam or as a vacation project.
So what you will be able to play is a good indication of the mood, with one puzzle (although it's a dead end) and the elevator mechanic working too. Take a look around. Maybe you like it :)
Use WASD to move, the mouse to look around, left mouse to interact and space to jump.
