Our take on Jack Is Missing
The bounce point arrives when the room’s interactive objects have been checked: the experience stays within that single hotel space, with the investigation focused on notes, devices, lighting, and calls rather than a wider sequence of locations or systems.
What is Jack Is Missing?
Play as Kevin, who returns to a hotel after murdering his friend Jack.
The first-person horror game takes place in one room, where Kevin believes Jack’s ghost may be seeking revenge. Players can investigate the room, control its lights, read notes, inspect objects, use a computer and make calls from the telephone.
