## What is Awkward Elevator?

You're in an elevator. So are they.

The chatty auntie wants to know whether you're married yet. The businessman is on a very loud phone call. And the guy in the trench coat keeps staring, and he's getting closer.

Get to your floor before the awkwardness gets to you:
• SWIPE UP to stare at the ceiling (too long gets weird too)
• SWIPE LEFT to check your hair in the mirror
• SWIPE RIGHT to look at the person next to you. Ignore the auntie and she's offended.
• SWIPE DOWN to hide in your phone, until the battery dies
• TAP to close your eyes, but don't "fall asleep"
• COUGH and everyone looks away
• HEADPHONES drown out the small talk with your own music

6 floors, from "First Day" to "The Gauntlet". A guided first ride teaches every move, and new tricks unlock as you go up. Earn up to three stars per floor.

The first three floors are free. One purchase unlocks the full game: the Creepy Encounter, Rush Hour and The Gauntlet. Pay once, keep it forever, no ads, no subscription.

Earn coins on every ride and spend them in the lobby shop. Upgrades let you stare at the ceiling longer, keep your eyes shut longer, slow the battery drain, cough more often and keep your headphones on longer.

Every passenger talks, and so do your inner thoughts, with subtitles for every line. Pixel art, haptics, an elevator-muzak soundtrack and a nervous heartbeat.

Play in English or Turkish. Voices are in English, with subtitles in both languages.

No ads. No subscriptions. No tracking. No accounts. Your progress stays on your phone.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.3 — 2026-11-05

Ding! Floor 1.0.3. Please mind the doors.

• Manners, finally. Passengers now take turns: no more two people asking you things at once, no synchronized staring. One awkward moment at a time.
• Hiding has limits. The ceiling and your eyelids now share one hiding timer. Look ahead for a second to refill it. (Yes, we saw you blinking your way through Floor 4.)
• The ceiling is now as good as your eyelids: 3 seconds each.
• Lost a ride? The game tells you why: "You ignored the teyze. When she talks, swipe right."
• First Day is shorter. Get to the good awkward faster.
• The lobby shop is cheaper, every upgrade actually helps (sorry about the cough that made things worse) and new stars pay a bonus.
• Share your ride: a result card for your friends. Misery loves company.
• Tap twice to skip the floor video.
• Also, someone is waiting for you on Floor 4. He doesn't blink.

Thanks for riding. Please don't make eye contact.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-11-02

• Now in Turkish: menus, tutorial and every subtitle.
• A brand-new opening: the elevator doors now greet you with the title and a floor countdown.
• The game is now truly full screen.
• Easier to find the Full Game: floors 4-6 are clearly marked, with a sneak peek of who's waiting upstairs.
• New Credits screen in Settings.
• The game now sends a few anonymous gameplay counts so we can see which floors are too hard. No accounts, no IDs, no tracking.

### 1.0 — 2026-10-30
