Our take on The Hotel
Rather than using free camera movement and plentiful combat supplies, this survival horror game returns to fixed views, tank-style controls, and restricted ammunition. Its structure also divides the story into two character routes, with the second becoming available after the first is completed.
What is The Hotel?
The Hotel is a survival horror game set in a dark, abandoned hotel where Alex and Judie encounter zombies and other creatures.
Progress depends on exploring nearly 90 rooms, finding clues, solving puzzles, and collecting weapons and ammunition. Supplies are limited, so combat and resource use form part of the challenge. The game offers two routes: Alex's story comes first, while Judie's route becomes available after completing his and presents a slightly altered version. Player choices can unlock alternate costumes for the characters. The game uses fixed camera views and tank-style controls, and supports Xbox, PlayStation, and 8BitDo controllers.
