3	'''''[[http://www.pixeltailgames.com/elevator/ Elevator: Source]]''''' is a Source engine mod for ''VideoGame/GarrysMod'' about... [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin being in an elevator]]. You'll go through 28 randomized rooms to get to your destination.
4	----
5	!!Tropes included in this game:
6	* ApatheticCitizens: While the player may react accordingly to the various floors, the [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] will respond in the same way a lead weight responds to being harassed by a gentle breeze.[[note]]In other words, they won't give a damn.[[/note]]
7	* ArtificialBrilliance: Parodied, the website says that the AI is brilliant enough to get in the elevator.
8	* BreadEggsMilkSquick: Besides walking, there are only three things that you can do: Check your watch, cough, and slap people.
9	* DemBones: One of the random passengers that can accompany you onto the elevator is a skeleton.
10	* DrivenToSuicide: Mix beer and cleaner in the blender on the top floor. [[SchmuckBait Go ahead, we'll wait.]]
11	* TheElevatorFromIpanema: ZigZagged. Only some of the muzak playing seems like it could conceivably be real elevator music. The whole list is a mishmash of video game songs (like from ''VideoGame/DeadRising'' or ''VideoGame/{{Bastion}}''), Music/DaftPunk, the theme from ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'', and other miscellaneous alternative rock and rap music. There is actually a Girl From Ipanema track in there.
12	* GameMod: There are instructions on how to create your own elevator room on the website.
13	* HilarityEnsues: What's likely to transpire if you have more than one player in the elevator.
14	** It helps that one of the three things you can do besides walking is slap the other players and [=NPCs=].
15	* KilledOffForReal: Sometimes random characters you can get in the elevator will die in one of the random rooms.
16	* LuckBasedMission: There's only one floor you can get out on. It has various activities including pool, slot machines, a blender you can mix juice in, and a TV you can play Youtube videos on. Be prepared to go through a lot of floors before reach this place however.
17	* SurrealHumor: Much of the draw of the mod is the fact that you'll often find a beach two floors up from a detective's office. All localized inside an apartment complex.
18	* ShoutOut:
19	** Some of the randomized names belong to Website/SomethingAwful goons. Considering the mod was made by a Goon, it's not too surprising.
20	** Also, one of the floors is the ''Series/GetSmart'' intro, complete with theme.
21	** One of the posters in the lobby parodies ''Film/TheMenWhoStareAtGoats''.
22	** One of the music tracks that plays in the elevator is the a capella rendition of ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2''[='=]s Mystic Cave Zone from ''WebVideo/SonicTheHedgehog2SpecialEdition''.
23	* UncomfortableElevatorMoment: The period of waiting for the next floor to appear can often become this. Also, [=NPCs=] who join early will sometimes stay with you for the ENTIRE ride. They even make comments, like "shouldn't we...be going somewhere"?
24	* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: The various [=NPCs=] that join you on your elevator ride won't even flinch at the more strange or horrifiying floors, aren't bothered at all by their companions dying and won't react at all to a [[DemBones skeleton]] or a ManOnFire potentially joining the ride.
