A downloadable Hotel188 for Windows

‎ 

‎ 
Dive into a realistic experience of the Backrooms, without jumpscares, getting lost in impossible spaces and feeling like something is watching you. The uncertainty of not knowing where you're going will make you want to quit… Will you be able to make it to the end?


In Hotel 188, there are no monsters chasing you or cheap jumpscares. The fear comes from somewhere else: the atmosphere, the silence, the sound of your own footsteps… and that constant feeling that something doesn’t quite fit.

You wake up in a place you don’t recognize. Time doesn’t move forward, the rooms feel the same but different each time you return to them, and the only path is forward... even though you have no idea where “forward” is. Soon enough, disorientation becomes part of the journey. You start to get lost, doubt yourself, and wonder if you should keep playing or take a break. This is the real experience of the Backrooms. It’s not just about looking, it’s about feeling it deep inside.

Hotel 188 is not just about walking aimlessly. Along the way, you’ll find small puzzles that aren’t just there for decoration. They are part of the world, integrated into the environment, forcing you to think, go back, and observe more than you thought you needed. They’re not impossible, but they are designed to get under your skin, just when you thought you understood what was going on.

Every sound, every flickering light, every room that seems the same but isn’t… everything is crafted to make you feel that this “hotel” has a life of its own. And the worst part is, you don’t know if it wants you to leave… or stay.

Hotel 188 is for those who seek more than just a typical horror game. It’s for those who want to experience the true anxiety of the Backrooms, get lost in them, get frustrated, and still keep exploring. Because you know that somewhere in this maze, there’s an exit… or is there?




FEATURES:

  • Interactive environment with puzzles and clues essential for escape.


  • A quiet yet deeply unsettling horror in a shifting, unpredictable environment.

Thanks for the heads-up! I saw it a bit late, but it looks like the post has already been taken down. Really appreciate you reporting it.

I don't know if it's a bug, but the game is fully dark, like, I can barley see where I am. I cheeked videos and they have light. Is it a bug or an update?

Could you tell me the model of your graphics card?

(1 edit)

I think it's   "Radeon Graphics" sorry if that's not correct.It's what it sais in "info about computer". Sorry if I mixed up.

That was epic I can't wait for the full game. 5/5

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it

I couldnt see anything at the beginning and I gave up, I dont know if its just my potato graphics card though

Sounds like a Lumen issue—some older GPUs don’t support it properly. I’ll look into adding a fallback option. Thanks for the feedback!

I had the same problem, but my computer is brand new.

Thanks for playing!

My pleasure, an interesting experience, great design and color palette selection, door key lock a little bit tricky. Missed some content disclaimer. Congrats on your work!

Well that was a REALLY FUN game. Thanks for making it LeonnCamayo! I enjoyed the environments and things changing and the sounds. Creepy but not too scary at the same time. Had a tough time figuring out the code but glad I was able to make it to the end of the demo. Good stuff!

Thanks!, I'm glad you liked it.

Finally found the flashlight and then found out I gotta go back to figure out the code...hahaha....Overall this is exactly what I look for in a backrooms game. The horror is in your mind, and that makes it that much scarier. Everything looks so good and the way things change around is so great for the atmosphere! Will go back and find that code but let me slow my heart rate first

Thanks!, I'm glad you enjoyed this Backrooms concept!

Thank you for your feedback! I promise the sound design will be much more polished in the final version.

This was such a solid demo my dude! Very cool experience, you really nailed the vibe and feeling of the backrooms, every area is so unique and its easy to get lost just walking around! I managed to find the damn locked door and the ending, I still feel I missed some areas or rooms its such a big place to explore! I really enjoyed this and recommend completely! Here is my gameplay video, sub and help me channel grow everyone :)

It was funXD Got through the secret wallXD

I'm glad you enjoyed it! The secret wall wasn't planned, but it seems like it fits well
