I loved the scene in the church. I thought the people were fake but they started gossiping about me!

Very impressively put together, it really builds a vibe and leaves you nervous.

Interestingly, the floors do not depend on which button you press. There is an illusion of choice, which in reality does not exist. Sounds add a lot of to atmospere.

Cool! Can't figure out whether the choice in the end has any impact and what's up with the locked door. Couldn't seem to do anything differently on a second try and it's kinda too slow of an experience to keep doing repeatedly.

Had some major camera/mouse locking issues. The cursor kept sometimes escaping the lock and I ended up clicking outside the game and thereby halting it. And the look speed was horribly slow for my liking at least. Also felt like the controls for crouch, jump and sprint were kinda unnecessary. There was do downside to always sprinting, it was superior to slow walk in all ways, except for it kinda lessened the mood of the game. Crouch felt useless now too, especially so if you'd increase the interaction range by a tiny bit. Now it felt a bit too short.

The start is kinda awkward as the fuse is VERY hard to notice unless you know what you're looking for and dragging it didn't first come to mind. The game itself doesn't explain it so had to read the page for the instructions to proceed.

The elevator buttons not having any impact and the number going all bonkers was confusing at first, then cool but finally an annoying delay while trying to replay again.

But yeah, great moody atmosphere some great groundwork for an interesting puzzler experience. Good job! 👍

I'm impressed that you managed to make such a beautiful and quite large game in this time! I liked the surrealism and the choice. I caught a bug when I tried to sit down on the Ctrl - the game crashes in the browser. Thanks for the game :)

Very good atmospheric game. I would like to do something like this some day, you are inspiring) Is that possible to make start game button be activated not only by mouse click, but also by enter? If u start playing second time, there is no way to click start button, if game is launched from the iframe of itch. Russian vibes are made perfectly!

Very atmospheric and cool game! While carrying the "elevator thing," I had flashbacks to Amnesia. Really enjoyed it!

Really athmospheric and fit the theme very well. From the sneak peak gif, I expected something different, so it was a nice surprise. I was also a bit intimidated at first from the selection of movement interactions (I'm really bad at first-person games), but I was happy that walking and carrying this fuses didn't overstrain my abilities XD. Well done!

Didn't understand much but what a vibe. The graphics, the audio, the level design, everything works well towards that

You can get on another elevator, cool. As an elevator specialist, I give it a thumbs up!

Duuude, Where is the design of the game page??

The game is really atmospheric, but how would I know if there is not a single picture of the game?

Wow, really nice atmosphere, I liked it very much. The sound, the vibes of Soviet houses, surrealistic start sequence all of that is just great. Also liked a reference to IC3PEAK
Thanks for the game!
