About the Game

「A vertical shaft, endless in space, ceaseless in torment—this is Avici.」

"ELEVATOR: AVICI" is a first-person psychological horror game wrapped in a gritty, retro Hong Kong lo-fi aesthetic.

The story roots itself in the shadowy corners of modern Hong Kong.

At 2:00 AM, you are just an ordinary delivery worker, stepping into a derelict apartment building for one last routine order.

Waiting for you is a classic, clanking cage elevator—the kind you’ve ridden a thousand times before, smelling faintly of machine oil and decay.

As you press the loose, wobbling button, the metal chassis groans and screeches into motion, just as it always does. But this time, your fate veers off the predictable track.

The routine shatters.

The elevator malfunctions violently. Imprisoned in this suffocating metal box, you have no choice but to watch the erratic floor indicator spin into chaos.

It might be suspended forever in the pitch-black shaft; or perhaps, it has already crossed the threshold into a supernatural realm that does not belong to the living…

In the dead silence, your sole lifeline is the distorted static of the emergency intercom.

A strange voice, claiming to be a "repairman," promises he can guide you to safety—if only you follow his commands.

Will you trust his orders, or forge your own path to survival?

The choice is yours.
