The Elision Effect (tuxdb.com)

The last person finds themselves in an empty office. Not knowing what made everyone abandon these liminal spaces, they look for an exit.

The Elision Effect is a short surreal puzzle game.

You might be the last person in this building. Empty offices and locked doors. You try to keep moving.
The place seems off, like it shouldn’t exist. It smells of old coffee stains, the fluorescent lights buzz, and corporate jazz plays on crappy speakers.
You long for fresh air.
An exit must be near.

Game Duration: 20-30 minutes
Made for the Indiepocalypse Zine
With custom music by AkAveryM

Settings aren't saved across runs (Thx: many, incl. Natanox)
No brightness setting (Thx: Jolly's headache)
On non-typical screen resolutions, there may be unintended black bars (Thx: Tomi)
SteamDeck doesn't work properly. Valve calls every Linux release a "SteamDeck" release too. Unfortunately, SteamDeck overwrites my in-game Controller input (e.g. Use is supposed to be Face Button Left, but ends up being Face Button Right). Idk why, I don't have a SteamDeck, so I won't optimize for it for now.

Feel free to report bugs or request essential features, I may or may not get around to patch them in. Unfortunately, I have a day job and I'm very exhausted at the end of the week.

The Elision Effect Release

That's right. This Friday on the 31th of May, you will be able to play The Elision Effect on Steam.

Imagine pressing that juicy play button, getting lost in the abandoned office rooms, where is anyone?

Hello?

Where is that noise coming from?

Wha
