hey i need help ! when i download the game, the app "ame" is not there !! and if someone can help me to resolve this problem it would be nice !!
bye byee
Hello! Please fix the bug of the game that keeps making the art zoom in and out. I cant seem to fix it even though i've refresh the game <3
Edit: After the first option i cant click anything else and the screen stays the same. :(
Hiii, I can't find the 'Game' program in the folder, so I cant' run the game. And I REALLY want to play it, I tried redownloading it multiples times and all, but it still doesn't work :( .. Can anyone help me please-
maybe your antivirus
how can we solve this to play the game ?
i feel like this game ate me up and shat me out in the best way possible 10/10 100% reccomen
i played this because of dead plate, i love lil games like this the style is 'chefs kiss'! but i might have killed the mc a few or maybeeeee more times.
Lovely game!! love the colours and the general experience!! everyone and everything looks so cool!!!!
I had lots of fun playing this game! In my opinion, I think the puzzles are well constructed!
I LOVE this game!!! please do more visual novels in the future! (no rush tho <3) words cannot explain how I wish I could play this game for the first time again ><
Do I have to force the rat to go into the hole??? I don't want him to die D:
you can save the rat :D
HOW??
Well you know the password after one playthrough right? Now you can input that without any sacrifices ^^
oohhh makes sense, TYSM i love that rat
that was incredibly upsetting 10/10
I LOVE IT
i love vaugley queer coded men in abstract horror situations 1000/10 <3
played because of normal guy 10/10 (a gun is pointed at me head)
seriously though i like the game its not too troublesome and it just needs a bit of brainpower which is good for my nonexistent thoughts
Elevator Hitch is amazing, the characters have amazing depth while the gaming experience is enjoying and leads me to reinstall it every while. I'm so thrilled that Elevator Hitch has a fandom, if it didn't I'd be deprived of content
Is anyone else having trouble with this game? The warning and control instructions are zoomed in, the text box and background is bugging in and out, and nothing happens after I click on the first dialogue choice. Is it just my computer or something? I've tried closing in and out of the game and uninstalled it and redownloading it multiple times.
Okay. I think it might be my computer. I'm using an old(ish?) Dell laptop my friend gave me. I think it can't handle the game. That's unfortunate.
I'm having the same problem here lol...
I loved it! This might be the first time I have no criticism for a game because this was seriously so good, quick, easy, and fun!!
Played this on stream yesterday, I was already a big fan of dead plate for a while and this game is a masterpiece. Ending 1 and Ending 12 were def my favs. I love the unique and Interesting lore and the unexpected things that happen. Amazing game loved it sm xx!!
I'm so sad, it won't start up on my mac. I've deleted it and redownloaded it countless times. I can pess start games but nothing happens except the icon on the bottom of my screen :(
I hope maybe someone could help me!
I CANT DOWNLOAD THIS god i hat macbook
how the sigma
Help
happens on macbook usually, just reopen it a bunch of times until it works
whats up with the childhood bedroom thing and protag? is he schizophrenic? is schizophrenic protag a good headcanon or will i be burned at the stake
No, no, spit your shit! I genuinely love the idea of schizophrenic Protag. I think the 'monsters' (I think it's phrased that way?I haven't played this game in a while) are in reference to his parents/mom rather than hallucinations or delusions, but honestly? Since I haven't seen anything confirmed yet, I'm clinging to that schizophrenia (or Psychosis) headcanon.
yippee!!!
I rate this game 89/70
heh,ALNST REFERNCE??
Muito bom! infelizmente meu qi é baixo e precisei de ajuda 😭. Será que ele precisa daquele emprego mesmo?
QI não é usado como métrica pra inteligencia faz mais de 40 anos, relaxa kk
I can't figure out how to move the camera up and down 😭😭😭😭😭
use your mouse! sometimes it helps clicking on the screen to help it move <3
also, you might want to use the arrow keys to switch the cameras if you need it
I'm very late so you've probably figured it out by now, but I also had trouble with this and turns out you can only move the camera when you're in the elevator and the green exit sign isn't in the bottom right-hand corner
really a good game!! but it'd be nice if it'd had a manual save or a skip button for the intro...
I love the characters and liked pretty much the rat scene!!
Do the protag and coworker have names?
the coworker will give you random names via a dialogue choice, but there isn’t a like “canon” name for either character.
OMGGGG RACHEL ARE U A WILL WOOD FAN?? IS NORMAL GUY BASED ON HIM???
acting like you know the person who made this and youre on a first name basis with them, pretty parasocial, yikes
