About the Game

Trapped inside a compact experimental facility, your role is simple and unsettling. Observe each floor. Decide whether an anomaly is present. Choose correctly, and you may proceed.

Inside the elevator, two buttons await your decision. Progress through the floors by consistently making correct judgments. As you advance, anomalies become harder to distinguish and more deceptive. Reach the final floor to uncover the outcome of the experiment. Whether you succeed depends entirely on how well you observe.

  • Observe compact, claustrophobic rooms designed to test perception

  • Decide whether an anomaly is present on each floor

  • Make your choice inside the elevator

  • Correct decisions allow you to progress

  • Incorrect decisions reset your progress

  • No time limits. Study the room for as long as you need
