VIDEOGAME RECOMMENDATIONS

Some of these are well known, but I really like them, so...

Elevator Hitch
Play it on itch.io

Genres: point-and-click, visual novel, escape room, horror, puzzles

This short game is about two dudes who get stuck in a weird elevator. I find the setting, the ambience, the graphics, etc. very fascinating.

Graphic content, gore, flashing images
