PREMISE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You wake up in the abandoned Pescadero Medical Center. The only way out is
down. An elevator takes you from floor 10 toward the exit, but on every floor
you have to judge: is everything normal, or is something wrong? Judge
correctly and you descend. Judge wrong and the elevator takes you all the way
back up.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KEY FEATURES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Descend by judgment. Ten floors, one elevator, one decision per floor.

* 23 anomaly types with randomised variants and locations. No two runs are
  alike, and memorising a floor does not save you.

* The game listens through your microphone. Later in the game, something calls
  out to you in your own voice, demonically distorted.

* An intro styled as an emergency TV broadcast, and a hospital built to look
  ordinary right up to the moment it isn't.

SETTING AND LORE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MPS, MIMETIC PERCEPTION SYNDROME

A nationwide health emergency. Patients report seeing and hearing things
others cannot. In late stages, the condition begins to imitate them: their
movements, their memories, their voice.

Pescadero Medical Center was one of the last hospitals still admitting
patients before the evacuation order.
