Our take on Haunted Hotel: Stay in the Light
The premise presents lights as the sole weapon, but the core activity is monitoring rooms, rationing electricity, and buying security improvements between nights. The three-night scope keeps the structure focused, though it also leaves little room for a larger progression arc.
What is Haunted Hotel: Stay in the Light?
Work as a hotel security employee during three nights of supernatural attacks.
A hidden force kills guests who remain in darkness, while the available lights provide the only way to repel it. Move through individual rooms and scan them to reveal whether the threat is present, then activate the light before it attacks. Electricity is limited, so keeping every room lit is not sustainable for the whole night. At the end of each night, surviving guests generate income through their daily rates. Spend that money on improvements to the hotel security system, balancing protection, energy use, and the number of people still alive.
