Hellevator

About

Hellevator traps you in a cursed hotel where escaping requires embracing death as a tool. Each floor is a puzzle that forces you to find inventive ways to perish, like falling, burning, or getting zapped, to unlock new routes and reveal secrets. The challenge lies in learning how each death interacts with the environment while navigating precise platforming. The art style is sharp and eerie, with a color palette that shifts as you descend deeper. The game’s clever level design has earned praise from players, though its difficulty curve can be steep. With 15 floors and a runtime of roughly five hours, it’s a brisk but replayable experience. Steam reviews average 4.5/5, with many noting the satisfaction of finally cracking a stubborn puzzle. The soundtrack leans into the hellish vibe without overpowering the action, and the lack of checkpoints keeps tension high. It’s a short but sharp ride for puzzle fans who don’t mind dying a lot.
