A very short (six minutes) but fun game.

Why rooftop?

Arima Lodge delivers a short but memorable experience driven by atmosphere and a sharp presentation. The story has a lot of potential, centering on several characters trapped in a hotel elevator, each with their own background and urgent destination. You’re only given brief glimpses into their lives, leaving you to fill in the gaps with your imagination, which adds to the intrigue. Despite its very short length, the atmosphere is tense and effective. The ticking elevator sounds and quick-time responses build constant suspense and urgency, making the situation feel complex and dramatic almost immediately. However, I wish the game was a bit longer and offered a stronger sense that player choices truly mattered. More impactful decisions would have added depth and replayability. It’s a five-minute panic play — ten if you play it twice — and well worth that time.

theres no game part of this game. the only thing that requires your input is starting the game and the quicktime events, but those just repeat when you miss them so it doesnt matter if you click them or not, youre forced to do one thing. and no dialogue option even changes the responses you get. there are no alternate endings, you can do less than nothing. i get that this is supposed to make you feel like you cant do anything in the face of bombs dropping but this is less than nothing due to the 0 impact you have on even the dialogue

i dont know what to say,but this game is surely some kind of masterpiece 10 rooftops out of 10
