Comments from developer:

Welcome to my first ever released game!

This project is very small and serves more as a design prototype than a fully polished game. 

I've used a bunch of assets from other creators, and I've done my best to include credits for everyone. If I missed anyone let me know and I will update the credits scene.

Thank you for playing, and stay tuned for more games in the future!

Great scares, some solid tension and creepiness, I just wish it was longer and we got a better look.

Keep up the good work this was really good

 

7,8/10 W game of the year 👍

Short, but well made.

Thank you very much

spooky

Indeed it is

Hi, so when I rang the bell and no one showed up so I did  look around to find someone at the motel but I didn't see anyone so I went back to the motel office and tried ringing the bell again but still no one showed up well I also tried to leave the area but noting works then I tried also look the key open the door next to the bell I think I'm lost cause there no object (hint) like what to do next


Thank you for showing me this, the regular sequence of events normally goes like 1. Ring the bell, 2. Leave the office because nothing happens, 3. When you leave you hear knocking on the back door in the office and then you are able to open it.

Side note after you ring the bell the door next to the bell is able to be opened without going outside.

Thank you for voicing your concern I will work on a new patch that provides better hints for pathing and such.

If you have anymore concerns let me know!
