About エスカレーター | Escalator

✦ AI summary

Escalator is a horror game where you ride an endless escalator in an underground passage, identifying supernatural anomalies and deciding whether to exit normally or ring an emergency bell based on what you observe. Each wrong decision forces you to restart, but anomalies won't repeat, creating a tense puzzle of pattern recognition and nerve-testing choices.

Escalator is a horror game in which you must find something unusual while riding an escalator and try to escape from an enclosed space.

✦ AI summary

Players agree the game rides on the success of Exit 8 but fails to deliver anything fresh or substantial, with lazy level design, uncreative anomalies, and repetitive reuse of assets. The escalator mechanics, while a core feature, are frequently criticized as tedious and clunky, with forced upward movement limiting exploration. Some appreciate the basic concept and find it passable, but most view it as a low-effort cash-grab that doesn't justify its existence compared to the original game that inspired the genre.

Lazy, cheap cashgrab; someone noticed the hype around 8番出口 and thought it was a great opportunity to make some easy money leeching off of it, so they created this garbage. Similarly to 8番出口, this game reutilizes the same assets throughout the entire playthrough. You'll repeatedly pass the same area, and occasionally something new shows up... but for the most part, it's very quickly put together and doesn't exactly boast an astounding variety of content. 8番出口 was a great success because it brought something new. Sure, it's heavily inspired by I'm on Observation Duty, but it still changed up the core mechanics and presented a cool, refreshing product that grabbed everyone's attention. This utterly ordinary and absolutely dull excuse for a video-game on the other hand, noticed how effortless it would be to create a similar, short game that reutilizes assets and that it would surely attract some attention since people would comment "It's a new game that is like The Exit 8!" I won't detail every flaw in this product, since I don't wish to spend 3 months writing this review, but probably the main example of how rushed this game was is the "H" button mechanic: it allows you to skip th…

The game is just another low effort Exit 8 inspired game with not much going on and the anomalies be not creative at all and worst of all you are forced to take the escalator up and can't move around multiple times. Whenever you find an anomaly you have to walk downstairs to press an alarm button and the ghost child using his fingers to show how many things you got right feels out of place. The game was pretty boring since nothing interesting was going on and the only time something interesting did happen was when the lights slowly turned off but that was the only good part of the game. The level design could of been a better though maybe a slightly bigger area with another escalator and something besides a single door at the top and no door at the bottom. The both of those just feel lazy and doesn't make it feel like a metro or wherever this is. Having another NPC walking down the stairs would of been good as well. I did beat the game but I can't recommend this since its just boring with not much going on and it could of been better and I tried to see all the anomalies but I just got so bored since after the game when you get the option to use the "H' key to see if there are an…

This is the first of these "Exit 8" type of games that I managed to finish. I like the concept. Can see some peeps gettin' impatient with waitin' for the escalator tho. I didn't get to experience all of the anomalies. Despite that it's not too bad. I'd like to see a story done with this type of game. Gameplay Impressions: https://youtu.be/nYpa8OsJOcI

i really want to recommend this game, the concept is good, but the transition are clunky when getting on and off the escalator, Like other people, the "stuck in the escalator" is very very very annoying

I love riding escalators! Probably one of my favorite things to do. So the FACT that I can ride an escalator while solving the grand puzzle of which this game is, it makes me joyous that I get to ride an escalator while doing so. CAN'T get enough of these escalators.
