Close call, but I just can't recommend this game. I just wasn't scared at all, at any point. I think there's some fundamental, developer game-design issues with this game. This game I believe is heavily influenced from the cult VR classic, The Elevator Ritual. However, other than the prettier elevator graphics and the fact that you can pick one of three passengers (different horror experiences), this game is worse than the Elevator Ritual VR (a 2016 Oculus exclusive VR game).
There's no story here. You're just thrown into an elevator and you're picking different level floors for who knows what reason, other than that was the main mechanic in The Elevator Ritual (however, it was explained in that game and there was a logic to picking the different floors). Here, there is no reason. You just pick random elevator floors. Sometimes spooky stuff will happen. Most of the time, nothing will happen.
When spooky stuff happens, it'll be mostly lights going out or some spooky sounds. Maybe you'll see a wooden crate or a mannequin outside the elevator door. Seriously. I am not joking.
Game is running on the Unity Engine. On my RTX 3080, I was getting a steady 90 fps. I did not experience any serious issues or bugs. You can play this game seated or standing, however, you cannot reset your height, which can be problematic. There is no locomotion or turning other than moving or turning in your playspace. The only VR interaction is pushing the buttons for the elevator floors.
At the end of the day, I think this game is overpriced for what it is. This is like a cheap, budget horror experience that should be at the most 2-3 dollars. If you want to experience all the endings, it may take you about an hour.
[b]Rate 4.5/10. When a similarly priced 2016 VR game does it much better, it's difficult for me to recommend the game.[/b]
