I saw GamerSault making a video about it and it looks really cool.
I love this game, the design and story is amazing!!
Takes a little while to get used to the controls, but this is a really fun, solid little point/click. The atmosphere is great, the music is delightfully creepy, and the artwork is fantastic. The amount of sprite variations and CGs is truly impressive for a game jam submission, and we loved all the blood, guts, and gore!
really fun! super atmospheric and charming i love the bits of the characters we get to see, which feels like just the right amount! puzzles were fun too. i was a little sad about how easy it was to get locked out of the secret ending.. that #4 got me lol. really loved the main character dynamic as well
I'm on Macbook and the cake doesn't spawn for me :( unfortunately, I'm just going to need to find a playthrough
Wowow it was so much fun. And i'm proud to say I completed the game without the help of any guide so i'm also quite hyped about that XD I really like this type of point-and-click horror games and found the character designs charming. I'm kinda still curious about MC's past. It was super fun though, and the music did a really good job with the ambience and with setting the horror. The floor reminded me of the backrooms. All in all, great job! I hope to play more of your games
THIS WAS SUCH A FUN LITTLE EXPERIENCE!! me and my bfs had a bunch of fun messing with it! our secret cut scene was being buggy but otherwise i had so much fun. the art style is wonderful and i loved the vibes and ost!!
The game was amazing, it's got amazing artwork, cool main characters, and it's pretty scary! The story for it was so interesting, that I might even go back to try to see what the other endings are like!
I thoroughly enjoyed Elevator Hitch! Great art style and visuals, stellar use of liminal space to create an eerie atmosphere, a lot of fun endings to play through (#12 was my personal favorite). The coworker was a really fun companion to interact with too. The premise of the game gave me Stanley Parable and Backrooms vibes, while still feeling entirely fresh and unique. Definitely one of my favorites from the Spooktober jam!
Didn't know you could look around in the elevator until I got stuck after getting the screwdriver. I would've liked to be able to read the instructions at my own pace at the beginning, and to click to continue; now they went by too fast. I think the game would benefit from being a bit clearer about how to enter the 3D mode. Otherwise I loved the puzzles and the artstyle! The sounds and audio atmosphere were spot on.
I LOVE IT
its rlly fun to play, the art is amazing and i loved the characters
I LOBE IT
I had so much fun with this game! Definitely recommend to 70's themed lovers (me included)
Inlove with the artstyle <3 Its a good horror game and the puzzles were fun to mess 'round but the games not really Halloweeny, but overall the games really well made:)
The game is really fun to play. I love the art style, and the characters are interesting as well as the gameplay being smooth. It is a proper horror game although it doesn't fit the Halloween concept. It is still fun though, and it's fun to try to get all the endings. Overall, this game is a great contender in winning the game jam.
Fantastic art! Clever puzzles and fun to explore.
Found myself clicking "new game" over and over again!
Loved the twists and turns, you never knew what was coming next!
Great game! Love the characters and the designs of each floor. Many endings to explore and choices to make
Excellent little game with a great atmosphere, premise, and nice art style! Love the whole vibe!
Such a great and creative game! The characters are very likeable and I had fun trying to get as many endings as posible. Love the liminal and surreal vibe of it!
