Elevator Ritual Reviews

I realy like it. Such 2d Silent Hill.

With a name like "Elevator Ritual", how could I refuse?

I have no words it is just horrible I got so lost and you got no hints were to go. Also when the monsters see you they know what step you're going to make and they are just too fast and need to be slowed down just a little bit so you can actually get away. 1/10 wouldn't recommend.

Very slow start with some menial chores to set up a mood to subvert. Some nice pacing and atmosphere that's kinda muddled a bit by the enemy Ai to just sorta wander meaninglessly. There's some wierd text , basic ESl issues ,but overall It's a nice game for the price with a creepy atmosphere that is worth whatever you paid for it. I do hope the developer continues to hone their craft.

Nice and cool game. Really challenging. As a rpg fans i love it. The combination of puzzle and story are really good. But the control can be much better. But overall this game is really good. Great sound too. If you like rpg and mistery you should buy and play this game.

Interesting story, had a hard time with a couple of the bosses but well worth it! 8.5 out of 10

I don't think this is a bad game, necessarily. It was just a big disappointment. I like a slow buildup for my horror games, but there was no development of characters, no foreshadowing, no hints at mysteries or puzzles to come. Just a lot of menial chores, same-looking rooms, and "I have no reason to go here". Let me explore, or at least don't give me thirteen floors of nothing. I thought at least things would improve once I got to the horror parts, but the heavily foreshadowed terror was mostly [spoiler]just zombies[/spoiler]. The flashlight mechanics make it impossible to see anything before it's right next to you, so there's no real way to avoid them if you don't see them coming. The puzzles are that classic style of unintuitive "memorize stuff and make unintuitive logic leaps" from old adventure games, which is made more tedious by the fact that there's no auto-run in a game where running everywhere is both essential and has no penalty besides the pain for your finger. I also only just found out after the fact, but according to this review, https://steamcommunity.com/id/MinisterJay/recommended/813150/ the dev also is no longer supporting this title and says they'll improve the issues in their next game, so this one isn't going to improve. 4/10, I guess I'm taking the stairs.

I played this game to completion...and I could not tell you where you should go next, let alone why you go where you go as the game does not give you as the player any hints whatsoever. Each floor is almost identical to one another meaning you're going around in circles, stairs, and the odd elevator which signals some kind of progression. Excited in the first 30 minutes when starting up, but the horror is not being scared but being frustrated.

Told developer known issues with game. Response was that the develeoper was going to try to do better on next game. Do better on this game. You can update it.
