In my interpretation, the elevator is a metaphor for the mouth and you, the player, are the medicine that is exterminating carcinogenic cells, which are disguised as healthy cells.
But comes a time when the medicine is no longer capable of destroying cancer cells without damaging healthy ones, another valid interpretation is that comes a time when the drug cannot be as effective, as fast as it should be, so the carcinogenic cells takes over.

Thank you. So you're slowing dying throughout the game, interesting.

I don't think your thoughts are right.
(SPOILER ALERT!!!!!)
I can even say that all the events that happened before seeing the doctor in the game were all a dark truth and we just need to look at it from a different perspective.
If we look at the last stage of the game, we will realize that Harold was not as interested in his work and his colleague as we thought.
Even the no smoking sign can be another justification that Harold can't smoke, which naturally he shouldn't like.
During the game, we can notice that Harold keeps saying: (Kill all those vermin and spare none of them)
And in the last scene of Harold's conversation with the doctor, if we pay attention, Harold says: (What happened in the office was all an accident)
Also if we look at the last stage, we can see that the gravity is changing and we also see those vermin in the form of office objects. As a result, it can be said that from the first stage of the game to the last stage before seeing Dr. Harold Illusions and imaginations.
Now let's make a general conclusion: firstly, Harold quits his job because he can't smoke in his office, and by analyzing his words, we can conclude that he hates his colleague (he even hates his mother).
Second, all those stages that Harold instructs us in the entire game, we are actually living in an illusion, and the things we saw as vermin are all images of our imaginations and minds.
And thirdly, after all these events, Harold tells the doctor that what happened in his office was an accident.
Considering these three things that have been said, we can say that the whole game we were in reality in our office and those creatures that Harold called vermin and we beat them with a hammer were Harold's colleagues, which were because of our illusion we used to see them in the form of objects and office equipment.
In the end, it can be said that we were killing Harold's colleagues during the entire process when we had the hammer in our hands.

What about one of the office plants looking exactly like a bottom of a spine (one of the posters in doc's office in the end) ?

But if we are murderers, I don't think we can go to a doctor after killing so many people, the police would have caught us by now.

That's kinda right
so I slightly change it to:(Harold hit his colleagues so hard he hurt so many of them and probably killed some of them but they might be dead when he was with doctor)

It doesn't matter
All of them were Harold's imaginations.He hurt his colleage with hammer in the end

Honestly, i just assumed we were some crazed schizophrenic, and the objects were coworkers bc in the end stage there was someone talking about a massacre.
