Elegorithm

Elegorithm is a simulation game in which you hack buildings to optimize their elevator systems. You design elevator-control logic with a node-based blueprint, routing passengers to their destinations while meeting targets for wait times and power consumption.

Program elevator systems

Connect nodes with wires to build elevator behaviors. Each target building has its own floor count, number of elevator cars and passenger traffic patterns. As your hack progresses, passenger traffic increases exponentially, so you must adapt your routing to changing conditions.

Manage the rush

At phase transitions—Morning, Noon and Night—you choose patches that alter elevator behavior. Rewards for completing hacking objectives let you install new node licenses and build more advanced algorithms. If your optimization fails and people overflow the floors, your hack is detected and forcibly shut down.

Optimization targets

Alongside moving passengers, you manage strict targets for average wait time, maximum wait time and total power consumption. The game presents its systems through a terminal interface with a sci-fi hacker atmosphere.
