I love the game thanks
Just finished it, had to replay it like 5 times but good game fr.
Masterpiece,I loved the puzzle. I made a map of that elevator
The games art style looks so yummy and my friend recommended me it, but when i downloaded it the game file didn't show up (the game.exe was there but not the regular one) so i'm just confused since i've re-downloaded it afew times and it still doesn't show up. If anyone knows what i can do to fix it, it would be much appreciated <3

Hey, Is this the OneShot floo- oh wait wrong floor. Can someone get me an elevator Hitch to the right floor?
i've played the game a little and i love it already, and i launched it through joiplay on a mobile device using a windows file. it's playable, but it doesn't autosave ;( what do i do
unfortunately, there is no save nor auto save feature in this game. :(
it should save, i've seen it in some videos.. but thank you!
English to Spanish Translator here!
I'd like to translate the game if you are interested. Please contact me on lacristinaura.translator@gmail.com
Love this game! just.. one tiny problem
I CAN'T TURN AROUND FOR THE LIFE OF ME, no like seriously, tried googling this or just.. pressing the arrows on my keyboard so hard (I think this is my computer being a little shit but if anyone knows why please tell me..)
i'm having this exact problem... I would guess it might be the type of computer we have? Not sure, the game is so good but my computer doesn't want me to have fun lmaoo
I was having the same problem took me so long to realize you can only turn when youre in that tilted down view right as you spawn in a new room
I absolutely loved played this! I had a ton of fun and the soundtrack was very relaxing to listen to while playing. The different unique dialogues were interesting, and the puzzles were really well thought out; my friend and I couldn't help playing it over and over again just to get all the endings XD!!
Thank you for the hard work and amazing game!
Quick question: is the soundtrack dmca free? I really enjoyed the whole list and would love to play it as bgm whenever I'd do my livestreams :3!
MY PLAYTHROUGH -> https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2120496777?collection=WsL9ksR5xhcjjw
I loved this game!:D It was easy to get the endings other than that I'm quite the puzzle person so I really liked playing the puzzles:D I got all endings other than the last one, they said it's achievable once you get all other endings but for some reason it doesn't work out for me, other than that I really liked the playthrough much:D
The game kept breaking for me and just would show the inside of the elevator and nothing would happen no matter what button I pressed
really great game i died like 80 times tho lmao
holy shit
uahhhhh amazing game your art style is literally perfect
the game isn't sized right for me for some reason :(
it's too big idk why
foams at mouth NORMAL GUY.... mwahahahhaabhywdbudheehyedhuhweshsfeuiwehiuawdhiafwhuihawdfiwdhoiawdfukhawduihfiaweuhafwiukhfaweiukawhiukfwehiuawsefkgbiuawfgbawfiukfawhbiuawkfhnioasefhniwebWEFUgbefwuhkgwezzbfkuyhAWGOLIFWKBUEGLUIWEGFLSEHIFGBVILAWFELIAWFLGBIEGIWFEGLEFIEGFKLGBEFEGFGUKE<IKGEILBUGEFKLEGKLHLEBGKBLHIWGELBIHWEGBLGWEUKUIOWE#UIWEHOLWE#TWETWIOTILUWG
is there a way to wipe your save data for second playthroughs? i deleted and redownloaded the game to play it again, but when i booted it up it just gave me the secret end agai
I'm a big fan of this game i love it sm the puzzles are fun and not too easy or hard. The characters and dialogue are entertaining and i highly recommend it!!
Sorry if i come off as rude, but could you make it downloadable for android? Its like I can't download anything on here. There's only a selection of things here that I can download. And most of them I absolutely despise.
you can play it through joiplay, there are tutorials on yt on how to do it
A great game, as everyone's said. Lots of personality with the endings and characters, and the puzzles were pretty good and well done in how it all ties together! Loved the art, music and everything!
Amazing game you guys! loved the topic and the surrealism of it all! Hope you don't mind but I did a short vid about it to maybe bring more attention to it. Anyway, keep up the good work! https://youtu.be/A-bTrFaFtNY
Loved the game! Artstyle's great, like the dialogue (why can't we feed our coworker to the [redacted]?!!!) and overall vibe. Sound design was cool as well, some of the floors sounded disturbing in all the right ways.
p.s. felt like the puzzles made quite some sense, but hope my psychiatrist never finds out about that
p.p.s the only thing I struggled with was the phone number. For some reason I couldn't open the note again to double check the number so I had to guess a couple of digits.
Help!! I downloaded on Mac and the game plays just fine, but when I die, it fully restarts the entire game rather than taking me to the scene where I'm like "yeah yeah you don't know everything about the office" to the coworker. Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something that I need to do in order to get that weird time loop vibe that I believe the game is supposed to have?
it was very good but i dont really understand the plot and meaning behind this whole story, i do enjoy the changes in style of game then the other ones, gotta love the one guys face when the other one got hooked like a carcass haha it was hilarious!
I love this game so much fxehdhjdbcjhdssfsbfjdfgrbc I'm so normal about it
Really good, confusing xd but reallyyyyy good!
really interesting game, wish i could play it for the first time again fr
When I first die, instead of taking me to the "What just happened?" screen, it just brings me to the start of the game with the controls and viewer discretion advised. From there, it just keeps bringing me to the start where you meet the co-worker. Am I doing something wrong?
also, sometimes the game is upside down
I'm having the same problem!! Are you on Mac
yeah. is that the cause of the problem?
i fucking love men
me
real
So real
realest thing ever
thats sooooo me
for some reason when i call the number and then restart the game, the cake is never there??? i don't know what I'm doing wrong 😭
you have to literally restart the game. Like, close the game and open it again.
I didn't need to do that at all! It worked by only dying in that run
so lucky haha
I think Japanese people should know more about this game.
endless working pressure and manipulation from superiors and colleagues, huh
Hi developers, I think I found a bug in the game... After getting the elevator key on the ninth floor, the blond fell down, but when I clicked on the elevator door on the fourth floor he miraculously appeared again and talked like nothing happened. That is WEIRD.
ummmm just a heads-up: if you want to avoid some gore (possible spoilers for what happens in the game) um, don't: call for help, and wait until they come rescue you... don't.
Please help guys. I downloaded the game but it only shows game.exe and when i try to open it, it says that it cant find the nw_elf.dll file (I had extracted files) PLEASE HELP :(
When I open the game folder the file (that is missing) is in it
please i need more homo in this game
Someone pls spoil ending 14 for me cuz i got all the other endings but it wont trigger :( someone pls js tell me what happens
I'm going through the same problem
