Elevator after a power outage
The story takes place in autumn. The girls had originally come together with suicidal thoughts and agreed not to ask each other about their identities or pasts, but the apartment elevator they were riding suddenly stopped running. The enclosed space breaks the original arrangement; one person in silence suggests sharing the secret, and the others begin their narration.
Narrative structure
The trapped present and the past they tell form two layers of the story. The author positions the work as a single-thread novel based on online ghost stories, with plots unfolding in a fixed order and secret narration gradually changing the relationships among characters inside the elevator.
Release format
The work is available as free software on Vector, with the author giving an estimated reading time of about two hours. The download page was later updated to version 1.03, involving system support and performance adjustments, with the version log retaining these maintenance features.
Rules for anonymous appointments and gatherings
In autumn, several girls arranged to meet through an online forum, agreeing not to pry into each other. Each of them had experiences they were reluctant to share, remaining silent after meeting until the elevator in their apartment suddenly lost power.
Secrets in confined spaces
While waiting for the elevator to resume, one member suggested revealing a secret he had never told anyone. Others then began to share their experiences, shifting the story from a gathering to a personal narrative in a confined space.
Strange Tales and Reading Forms
The work is based on urban legends circulating online, and the author calls it a simple one-way novel game, with an estimated reading time of about two hours. The secrets of the characters are narrative threads; they cannot be filled in by similar folk tales alone.
Release records
