Secret Floors

You’re leaving work, but your elevator skips the ground floor and leads you deeper, to the Secret Floors. A strange man contacts you on your phone to help you. Will you manage to reach the deepest level and escape?

The game consists mainly of a short story driven by dialogues on the phone. To reach deeper level, you have to find the right codes to use on the elevator’s panel, using the hints given to you by phone.

I mainly focused on the mood, music and graphics rather than gameplay.
