Psalm 2 is a short psychological horror game in which you spend nearly all your time between an elevator and yet another floor you have no desire to step out onto. The doors open, and ahead lies another dark corridor or strange room, while the elevator refuses to go any further until you find whatever is hidden there. What exactly you're looking for, no one explains.
Down and Down
Sometimes a floor is so quiet that you find yourself straining to catch any rustle. Sometimes the room seems completely empty, and then you notice something odd by the wall or deep in a passage. The game constantly makes you scan your surroundings slowly, because the item you need could be anywhere: in the dark, among the furniture or right in front of your eyes.
The atmosphere of the place does a lot of the work. Dim light, identical landings, the heavy hum of the shaft and a sense of endless descent make even an ordinary walk around a floor nerve-racking. There's hardly any action or long cutscenes here. The game simply bears down on you with the presence of this strange space that, for some reason, you can't climb your way out of.
