This was an interesting experience, despite there not being much actual gameplay the feeling of fumbling for the right key to press to hit the button was surprisingly embarrassing with the girls' commentary. The girls conversation was also pretty funny to listen to and same with the suddenness of events unfolding in the elevator.

The ending was a bit of a letdown, but then the joke was that the ending was a letdown. It was fun being able to finally walk around outside and push objects around, though the drunk guy ended up becoming invisible in my playthrough.

This almost feels more like an art game than so bad its good, though it sorta rides that line. The ability to kick people around on the floor definitely falls into so bad its good territory.

Either way I enjoyed it, and respect how much it pays attention to the players actions.

Well done!

Oddly adorable. I like the movement quirk where if you look up or down you get slower for some reason, lol.

Someone take this guy home, I think he's had too much to drink!

Great experience! It's quite calm and relaxing, but also very weird and zany. While it was listed as "chrome only", it works fine on the itch app afaik.

Game called me a crazy *** by the end. Well done!

I really enjoyed this! I found the writing really fun and engaging. The muzak got a laugh out of me. I think it might be too good to be 'bad', maybe I just have weird tastes though haha

*elevator music intensifies* 

Definitely an unusual experience, and a tad eerie xD

I like how at the end, one of the stick figure men just rolled away in a true scoot o speed style.

Wow I really like this one! For some reason it kinda creeps me out at times but I waited a long time for a maybe special ending! Didint get any tho.

Also I like that you can toss the people around in the elevator. Useless but cool

AND WHY CANT WE SEE OUR REFLECTION. another creepy thing

Yeah, I waited for the secret hidden text... And then kept waiting... and kept waiting. Acutally, I'm still waiting and I'll keep waiting because I will see all of the dialogue. Even if the game tells me its over, I know that its not over... :)

Still waiting...

I'm still not sure if that was meant to be an art game or a parody of an art game. I suppose, in the end, that it doesn't matter. 

To me this doesn't really fit the bill of a "so bad it's good" game. It's more of an experience than a game, for one, and it's really surreal and bizarre, but not in the janky weird way I usually associate with "so bad it's good". It's kind of orthogonal to that whole scale of bad, goodbad, good. It just is.

On the note of the button: I was never sure if pushing keys to activate the button actually did anything or not because there wasn't any feedback indicating that it had been pressed.

Wow, this game is an emotional rollercoaster.  The button pushing bit is pretty difficult but very rewarding when you finally manage to push it.

I think i got a little lost when searching for the point of this game. That is probably cause im slow or something though so i wouldnt worry too much about that.
I did like the randomness of the story, it made me laugh a few times, and the elevator music was fantastic (i used the exact same one in my Bachelor project for Uni XD).

The game was interesting. The was only one button, the graphics fit this game jam, the elevator music was great. I tried to push the girls into the corner expecting them to disappear through the walls, but I failed. Their conversation was quite intresting to listen to. There wans't much gameplay overall, except from the elevator ride. I spent I few minutes in the end room expecting something to happen.
The game was quite enjoyable and the implementation of the modifier was perfect.

Gave this a play! Was the button purposely unable to press? lol. It was hilarious as I kept trying to figure out any controls to play it and all I can do is walk around, at least it could still progress hahaha. Overall, it was a neat elevator experience.... a long elevator ride experience... but listening to their chatter was interesting, especially certain scenes... ohmygosh pfft haha! Graphics were simple but cute, I like how the girls literally just look like bathroom signs!

Lmao haha, thanks for the review, also yea, you could press the button with the E button (but don’t give the spoiler for other people). Glad that you liked the game :)

Ah of course! Ohmygosh why did I not think of that? That's what I get for playing after waking up freshly from a nap haha. And I just edited my comment to remove any spoilers~

Developer(+2)

lol I was talking about the “oh we forgot to tell the players that you need to press E” spoiler, but I think it’s ok haha. Also, I loved your comment, made my day haha
