Our take on Dark Moon Motel
Its focus on a single night shift and a confined motel setting gives the game a concentrated structure, but limits the scale of exploration. The design trades breadth for a tightly framed sequence of duties, clues, puzzles, hazards, and possible endings.
What is Dark Moon Motel?
Dark Moon Motel is a first-person horror-comedy adventure set during a night shift at a deteriorating motel.
Players complete assigned duties, including taking out the trash, while exploring dark rooms and managing limited survival resources. The motel’s unusual guests and various monsters create hazards to avoid. Clues and gathered lore support puzzles, with challenges involving environmental investigation and wordplay from guests.
