About this game
[Notice of Assignment] Effective today, you are ordered to report to the Elevator Control Room.
This is an elevator control simulation game that goes against the wave of AI automation, forcing you to manage everything manually.
Your job is simple: safely deliver the waiting employees on each floor to their designated destinations. However, in this company, the excuse "we're over capacity" will strictly not be tolerated.
But there's one major problem. This elevator has a highly unreasonable design flaw: "buttons pressed by employees inside the car take absolute priority." No matter how perfectly you plan out efficient routes with your sticky notes, your schedule will be effortlessly derailed by the staff's whimsical button-mashing.
What starts as a peaceful routine quickly descends into chaos as the number of employees multiplies. Battle the sheer frustration of an elevator that refuses to go exactly where you want, and sustain the logistics of this corporation with nothing but your rapid mouse movements.
Grab an item and your elevator enters super-speed mode! Experience the ultimate thrill of clearing out a massive backlog of employees all at once and racking up bonus pay.
■ Clock-Out Rush (Panic Mode)
As closing time approaches, the screen turns red, and a swarm of employees rushes toward the 1st floor (exit)! If you don't survive this hellish rush before the complaint count exceeds its limit, you will be immediately "Fired" (Game Over).
Use that hard-earned money to upgrade the elevator's "Movement Speed", "Capacity", and "Door Speed".
Why do you have to pay for the company's equipment investments out of your own pocket? ...Because that's just the kind of company this is.
Now, let's begin another never-ending shift.
