About The Lift

STORY

Max is a rude, troubled teenager. A lack of money forces him to take a job delivering pizza. On his way to the next order, he argues with his mother. The delivery address is on the 13th floor.
Max calls the elevator but doesn’t wait for an old woman who was about to enter. Suddenly, the elevator gets stuck between floors. He calls for help, but only static answers him. At last, the elevator moves again—only to stop at the 2nd floor. From this moment, Max is trapped.To reach the next floor, he must find the missing elevator button. Only by reaching the 13th floor can Max break free from his demons and see his life in a new light. But are you ready for what waits at the top?

The Lift should be called "Nothing happens. Nothing to do." Stand in the dark with nothing to do.

Regarding the story the game tries to be something more than actually is. The concept is mediocre, and the execution is very elementary. If this is the first game ever made by only one person, then I would say that this is a very good first try. Nevertheless, it is broken in so many ways; doors closing in front of the player rather than behind him, doors closing and trapping you in the corners etc. It bugged three times while playing, something that really made me not to want to continue playing. In conclusion, this should have been a free a game for all those issues to be justified.

Don't really know if I would recommened this game or not due to some personal preferences in games, but here's a shot for those who read reviews: Quick playthrough, not sure if it's worth the money as it is pretty short. I think the main reason I would not recommened the game is that there won't be any updates to it. The bugs that the game has just has the "start new game" as solution in case something doens't load or when you get stuck... which isn't the most fun solution when you try to stay in the game like I do. In general, there is a plot, pretty straight forward but you'd have to sit through the game to understand it or to have it make sense. Music and sound effects are on spot, I think probably the best part of the game in my opinion. Lacks a bit in guidelines for controls (visibility wise) in my opinion, but that's something that easily can be figured out.
