How it feels
A methodical, contemplative puzzle game set in an art-deco hotel that feels both serene and subtly menacing as you piece together the mystery.

What players say
Players praise the color-based puzzles and narrative atmosphere, but many are frustrated by the lack of checkpoints in longer puzzles, especially the final one, which can force a full restart. The slow walking speed and some find the voice acting grating.
