Elevator Action

Core Gameplay Mechanics and Setting

The atmosphere is one of tense, vertical infiltration. As Agent 17, navigation is intrinsically linked to the building's elevators. Players must utilize these lifts to move between floors, often needing to switch between cars rapidly to evade security personnel who patrol the premises.

A central feature of the gameplay involves collecting the required documents. Once a document is picked up, the building's alarm system is triggered, increasing the urgency of the mission. Guards will become more aggressive, and players must use environmental elements—such as shooting out light fixtures to temporarily blind pursuers—to survive the descent.
