Liftman by gamechoy
You're late for class! Why does it have to be on the top floor?! Wait a second, there's something wrong with this elevator...


Liftman is a surreal point-and-click adventure about a college student just trying to get to class who gets mistaken for the new multidimensional elevator operator! Figure out where your guests need to go in a timely fashion, or you might not make it out alive... either way you'll probably still be late for biology!

If you are already about to do so forget the following - you can get a lot more attention to your game if you use a preview screen :)
That jumpscare though >:(((
Manages to create quite the atmosphere!
Can't figure out where the witch wants to go still...
Good game! Never riding an elevator again!
Pretty interesting concept, but definitely got to a point where I'd clicked through all of the npc's dialog and had no idea where they were supposed to go.
Also, the void monster really surprised me, but in a good way. Got really dark, really fast. :laughing:
Great work!
Music was great. Really mysterious. In fact thanks to the sound design I had quite the jumpscare the first time someone got snatched. That entire "endgame" character is very eerie and disturbing.
Riddles were really interesting. Deviously simple. Though I must say it took 3 tries before I finished it so there is a fair challenge too.
Only nitpick would be that I'd have loved to have seen some kind of ending for our sunburnt friend, he's quite the character!
