Hellevator [NaNoRenO2020+][Horror][Murder][Mystery][Parody][Comedy]

[Abyss_Team]

We've finished the Demo Version! Get it here!

Once upon a time, there was a building. And in that building, there was an elevator.
And in that elevator, there was…

Story

A group of strangers are trapped inside an elevator. What seems to be a normal day quickly turns into a tumultuous one as superstitions go out of control and the Devil starts murdering these strangers one by one. But is there really a supernatural entity out to kill them?

Based on the movie “The Devil” (2010), written by M. Night Shyamalan and Brian Nelson, we intend to mimic the story premise while giving it a twist of our own.

Features

- Approximately 19k words for the demo and 50k for the upcoming full version. -

- Questions that, er, question your existence. -
- Mister Bunny. -
- Our sweet Lord Brahmi. -

About

Hello from Abyss Team! We're the devs that brought you Abyss in NaNoRenO2019.
This year, we've decided to do something a bit different with the help of many talented artists, audio people, editors, programmers, and voice actors/actresses.
We hope you'll play the game, both the Demo and the Full Version!
(stay safe everyone)

Yesterday marked the end of NaNoRenO2020+, so it is with great pleasure that we announce the release of the Demo Version of Hellevator!

Get it here on itch.io!

We're very grateful to all the people involved in the development process and their hard work for the past month (and 2 weeks)! Unfortunately, we didn't manage to implement all the mechanics and full story that we've created, but we're incredibly happy with what we've achieved!

What our achievements are, you ask? Here are a few screenshots of the game:


Don't they sound like people you'd want to invite over for dinner?


The very wise Mister Bunny is always correct. Isn't that right, Mister Bunny?


The impact of frantic last-minute QAing.

But wait—this isn't the end of our elevator ride, folks! We still have at least 25k words worth of content to implement, a shiny mechanic that we haven't gotten to yet, and many more things to come! Once we've finished the game, we'll be migrating to Lemmasoft's Completed Games section, so look forward to that in the near future.

In the meantime, drop by that itch.io game page, get the game and try it out. Leave us some comments there so we know where we screwed u—er, we mean, uh…what you thought about the game. Yeah.

And now, time for the devs to pass out like proper victims of sleep deprivation.
