Our take on Survivor's guilt
Players who need constant movement may bounce off at the elevator confinement. Those expecting rescue to end the story may hit another stopping point when the narrative continues into the disaster's aftermath.
What is Survivor's guilt?
Survivor's guilt is an adventure simulation about surviving a magnitude 9.
2 earthquake while trapped in an elevator. The rescue date is unknown, so available food and water must be managed while hunger, fear, aftershocks, and cold weather create ongoing threats. A smartphone and remaining supplies are available during the ordeal. Family and friends can work together to escape, while other people encountered have lost their former daily lives. The story follows the city's destruction and continues after rescue, asking what remains after surviving the disaster. Its minimum playing time is about 4 hours.
