Hello!!^^ I've tried to download the game, but unlike in other studio investigate's games, I haven't got the "Game" file. Same goes with Cold Front. I've seen in comments that some people open the game by opening "Game.exe", but when I've tried, it had no result to both games. It shows that something is loading but then nothing happens. Maybe someone knows how to deal with it? I'm honestly bad in computers and working with files, so I would very apriciate some help:(( Thank you!!
hi I would love to play this game but the screen is zoomed i guess? I tried rebooting my computer and redownloading this game and that doesn’t work I also followed the advice that Rachel gave to the another user who had experienced this error but that doesn’t work too djsjajgsoㅛ plz somebody help me
I don't know if anyone had this problem too, but no matter how many times I download the game I don't have "game.exe" file like it was on other games. (Im on windows) All I can see is just "game.exe.exe" which, indeed does work but horibbly. None of the pictures will show up, + the audio just straight up dissapears, there's only a black screen with text for the whole game (+ it takes YEAAARS to load anything?? Its barely playable.) I have the other games too, the same happened with cold front but the rest does have "game.exe" and it works just fine. I even tried to download it on my phone to maybe send it over to my pc later, but the "game.exe" is still gone. My friend tried too, the same effect. I'd appreciate any help I can get, I love both of these games and I would love to get the full experience by playing them myself ;)
I haven't faced this issue but I'm going to assume that maybe it has to do with your computer? It could be that for some reason your Windows Defender considers it a false positive and deletes it from the folder. I suggest adding it as an excluded software from having it checked. I do believe that your computer is the cause.
This game, despite being a small game, has been genuinely a fantastic and one of the best itch.io games I ever tried. The amount of endings and how each and every was unique was honestly my favorite aspect as it was fun discovering all endings with the amount of it. The OST's style was a great addition as well. I may have encountered a bug or two but nothing a restart won't fix. Keep it up!
Is it meant to be just a black screen once you enter through the doors?
Not the best way to represent endless, especially since you can't really interact with anything i.e. no indication you are moving forward. Just seems like you are in a dark room.
This game was completed in a MONTH?! And it's THIS good??? That's absolutely wild, nigh incomprehensible.
Anyway I love everything about this. The art (aooouuuugggghhh the art), the audio, the writing (the use of interruptions and text size, the unique voice of each character and the humor, aaaaa), the puzzles (for once I'm not frustrated! It's fun and I'm not angry!), the endings to have fun collecting... exactly my kind of game. Love it. 10/10
I was shocked I liked this game so much. I am not a fan of most escape room like games, as a lot of the answers felt to out there / easier for the player to look up a guide. Elevator Hitch never felt like such, as I never needed to pull up a guide, minus me having to check how to spin my camera around (so just the controls).I also like how the game lets you keep your items, making dying not feel like a punishment but a way to obtain more info.
Really only complaint is I wished there was more to the co-worker character personality wise and wish he could shove him into the hole in floor 2 as he is a living thing. Minus those nitpicks, I heavily enjoyed this game!!
I think you meant to comment this on dead plate, not elevator hitch. either way, press z and hold on the directional pad of your keyboard the direction the item is to grab it.
could someone help? No matter how many times i go back to get the scissors, co-worker never gives me the advice, and i just die all over again. Can anyone help
This game was genuinely so cool! I enjoyed it very much, even tho it refused to give me ending 14 even after i got all the other endings(inlcuing both 3rd floor variants and both 8th floor ones). I also love the characters and the artstyle <3
So, we've gotten the phone number but it won't let us type it in? We closed out the application and reopened it and it still will not allow us to type in the number.What am I supposed to do? Have I done something wrong?
Update: I had to press the 2 button to go down from 9 with the numbers on the side keypad area thing
For whatever reason the game just randomly freezes for me and then fucks with the save. Amazing game otherwise, just a shame I couldn't play it too much, only got a few endings
I love this game so much!!! It's my favorite one from the Studio Investigrave, I love the protag and the co-worker, it's such an interesting and chill but spooky game <3
UPD: I know you wanted to makes endings more subtle , but some of them seemed too vague. Example: 'parents'. Maybe you should add some sound effects in each ending to make them more horrifying and impactful/ You can reverb sounds or layer one onto another to make something unique. Maybe you should use more sound alltogether to convey specific atmosphere.
Hey, I tried playing this game on the Mac, and I did manage to get into the game, but it just wouldn’t save. It just restarted me back at the beginning with no progress saved. This is a bit of a problem because, as I’ve seen with some online clips, you need to die at some points to continue the game, and I can’t do that without ending up back at the beginning. Any help?
one thing i have is that when i go back to floor 8 to get the scissors, co worker never gives me the advice, so i can never get the scissors. Am i missing something
Yes... it happened to me also. Only the "Game.Exe" appeared from the Zip file and clicked on it and it worked just fine. (So it shouldn't be a problem. (/>o</) Don't question it if it works)
whenever I download the file, the file called "game" isnt there. theres game.exe but nothing else, also I tried to play cold front and had the same problem.
I LOVED IT!!!!!!! best game ever :D i LOVED the creativity when it came to the floors; and i liked the 3D parts. and the artstyle is amazing! i admit, i had to use the guide at some parts, but overall: 10/10! also very attractive men
I don’t have a FN key on my key borad so I can’t look around and it’s frustrating me a lot! I was wondering if there was any different key I can use to look around
everytime i download this game, i never see the game application ): it always shows everything else, game.exe, four folders, credits etc. but not the game itself. plleeeaase fix this!! I wanna play this game so bad
my game dosen't work i'm stuck in the elevator and i cant do anything there is nothing i can interact with PLEASE HELP ME :,( i red the comments and it seems like a good game
for me I have windows and it won't let me look up or down. I don't know if I'm missing something or not because I originally just wasn't on the right screen to move :/
I figured it out!! I dunno if it'll work for you guys, but on that screen when you first get to a floor, just look down, is the screen you look around in. when you look at the wall you wish to look at, then you press Z! I hope this fixes your guys' problem i'm just dumb lol
This was absolutely stunning. I am in loooooove~ <3 I haven't squealed over the game this much since the Stanley Parable game and this was *chef's kiss*
Loved the characters
Loved the endings
Loved the concept of the game
Loved the puzzles
ADORED THE GAME FROM START TO FINISH
Ending 8 is my favorite
ending 14 had to read on Wiki to understand the concept but it's so cool????? so twisted???? I love it????
This game had all of my favorite things combined with gore and humor and tristed things. Peak cinema. 10/10. Had ranted to 3 of my friends over it already

+ I’m on window(low quality)

Secret Ending broken???
Great game otherwise
It's meant to be that way, endless.
Is it meant to be just a black screen once you enter through the doors?
Not the best way to represent endless, especially since you can't really interact with anything i.e. no indication you are moving forward. Just seems like you are in a dark room.
Not sure if you're playing the game without sound but it's basically MC (Presumably) running down the stairs endlessly.
I see. It felt like something wasn't loading rather than an endless hallway.
It just felt underwhelming.
This game was completed in a MONTH?! And it's THIS good??? That's absolutely wild, nigh incomprehensible.

What button should I click as a waiter in the game to serve food to customers?
I think you meant to comment this on dead plate, not elevator hitch. either way, press z and hold on the directional pad of your keyboard the direction the item is to grab it.
playing this in a old ass summer class computer and its slow for me but ill play it again when i go back home cuz this is good
could someone help? No matter how many times i go back to get the scissors, co-worker never gives me the advice, and i just die all over again. Can anyone help
Have you checked the guide posted by the creator?
If you haven´t, you need to talk to the co-worker and choose ¨Push them further¨
This game was genuinely so cool! I enjoyed it very much, even tho it refused to give me ending 14 even after i got all the other endings(inlcuing both 3rd floor variants and both 8th floor ones).
I also love the characters and the artstyle <3
i love gay ppl
Another Masterpiece Made By This Creator.
So, we've gotten the phone number but it won't let us type it in? We closed out the application and reopened it and it still will not allow us to type in the number.What am I supposed to do? Have I done something wrong?

I would have liked it more if they had kissed
You are sooooo~ right! (;o;)
fr (no homo)
For some reason I cant move my camera when I press Fn + arrow keys? Does anyone know how to fix it or if I'm doing something wrong?
You can only move the camera on one screen, the one right after you press to go to a new floor. Then you can look around the elevator
PLUH SORRY I FORGOT TO REPLY BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN I WAS STUCK FOR AGES TvT
This game would be more fun if:
1) skip dialogue
2) if you accidently get a choice option, you can quit to not make a choice
3) i there wasn't bugs with leaving 'sticker wall'
4) if there was another passcode quest taht doesen't involve 'hole'
5) if there were more dialogue options with your colleuge, just simple talk? woud make game a little bit more replayable
6) if there were number of endings and how many you've already got or just a progress meter in percents
7) last but not least the last ending erases all the progress, it's inconvinient if you want to get all endings
Also, a second part would be great! Good luck! Hope this comment is helpful
P.S. Don't bother with mistakes, I'm not a native speaker

I'm having the same problem :(
i can't open it, do you know how?
i followed the mac instructions but it still won't open :(
one thing i have is that when i go back to floor 8 to get the scissors, co worker never gives me the advice, so i can never get the scissors. Am i missing something
I think that you have to die first, maybe try that?
i love protag so much.. euuuu...
for me, opening "game.exe" on both cold front and this worked. have you tried it yet?
Yes... it happened to me also. Only the "Game.Exe" appeared from the Zip file and clicked on it and it worked just fine. (So it shouldn't be a problem. (/>o</) Don't question it if it works)

May i ask what i should click? I only see game.exe rather than "game"

WHAT IS THE SECRET 15TH ENDING. I CAN NOT GET IT. i cant get 14 either no matter how many times i play through it. mine is borken guys :((
there is no actual ''15th'' ending, ending 3 has two versions (3A and 3B) so that's why it says there are 15 endings in the game
try using the fanwiki of the game. it has walkthroughs
https://elevator-hitch.fandom.com/wiki/Endings
spooky!
when the part 2
I LOVED IT!!!!!!! best game ever :D i LOVED the creativity when it came to the floors; and i liked the 3D parts. and the artstyle is amazing! i admit, i had to use the guide at some parts, but overall: 10/10! also very attractive men
I don’t have a FN key on my key borad so I can’t look around and it’s frustrating me a lot! I was wondering if there was any different key I can use to look around
I used my arrow keys I'm pretty sure!
Do you know if there are any other keys?? I use a Mac and using the fn key or the arrow keys doesn't work lmao
SO CLOSE TO 100% i keep messing up the 4th floor one by getting it right before getting the ending ;-;
Yo I did not expect this game to hit so much mentally at some points-
This is honestly a really cool game, it was fun! :D
everytime i download this game, i never see the game application ):
it always shows everything else, game.exe, four folders, credits etc. but not the game itself. plleeeaase fix this!! I wanna play this game so bad
yoo! i have the same problem! i thought i was the only onee
Use game.exe its what I did and I got the game to work. Hope this helps!
thxx!! i'll try itt!
Your welcome!
Whenever i enter the game it gives a error and tells me there's a bug. I hope this can be fixed it seems like a good game
my game dosen't work i'm stuck in the elevator and i cant do anything there is nothing i can interact with PLEASE HELP ME :,( i red the comments and it seems like a good game
have you tried clicking enter? but if that hasn't been working just uninstall the game then install it again
does anyone else have issues with the game's controls not working? I can't move the camera like it implies I can and it's blocking me from endings.
yea same, it keeps me on the warning note and doesnt load,idk if its my laptop cuz it is pretty old
for me I have windows and it won't let me look up or down. I don't know if I'm missing something or not because I originally just wasn't on the right screen to move :/
Same!
yup me too
I figured it out!! I dunno if it'll work for you guys, but on that screen when you first get to a floor, just look down, is the screen you look around in. when you look at the wall you wish to look at, then you press Z! I hope this fixes your guys' problem i'm just dumb lol
help i still don't know how to look up or down tho XD
You're amazing! Thank you!!
This was absolutely stunning. I am in loooooove~ <3 I haven't squealed over the game this much since the Stanley Parable game and this was *chef's kiss*
