Game description:
Mom's Hotel is a short linear horror game that places the player in the role of Claire, a young woman stranded after her car breaks down in a remote area. With no other options, she accepts help from a strange man who leads her to a small, aged hotel. At first, the place seems like a safe shelter, but the longer she stays, the more unsettling details she notices about both the building and its owner, Mrs. Charlotte. The game builds tension through exploration, environmental storytelling, and carefully paced encounters.
Arrival at the Hotel
The story begins with a stormy night and a sense of isolation as Claire steps into the dimly lit lobby of Mom's Hotel. Mrs. Charlotte greets her with an unnervingly warm welcome, offering a room for the night. The player can explore hallways, peek into empty rooms, and examine small details that hint at the hotel's strange history. The atmosphere grows heavier as the sound design and lighting subtly change, foreshadowing that something is very wrong.
Discovering the Truth
As Claire moves through the hotel, she finds locked doors, strange notes, and unusual objects that seem out of place. Interacting with certain items triggers short cutscenes or events that push the story forward.
Key elements players can encounter include:
Old photographs hinting at previous guests who vanished
Unusual noises coming from locked rooms
Mysterious handwritten letters
Shadows moving in places where no one is standing
Sudden blackouts forcing exploration in the dark
Confrontation with Mrs. Charlotte
The closer Claire gets to uncovering the truth, the more hostile the environment becomes. Mrs. Charlotte’s friendly demeanor shifts to something far more threatening, and the player must navigate tense moments where hiding or quick decisions are essential. Hallways may change layout, rooms appear where they should not be, and reality itself starts to feel unstable.
Escaping the Hotel
The final part of the game focuses on Claire’s attempt to escape before she becomes another victim of the hotel's secrets. The pacing quickens, combining sudden chases with puzzle-solving under pressure. The ending depends on the player’s choices and discoveries, offering multiple outcomes that reveal different parts of the mystery. Mom's Hotel delivers a compact but tense horror experience, relying on atmosphere and story rather than constant action.
