The graphics and especially lighting gave the game an amazing mood, and I liked the idea of going deeper into a hotel I know nothing about. I'd love to see this idea be taken further, it really felt a lot like a dream. Good work!

Neat game! I got ready for a jump scare towards the end all for nothing. It would have been nice to have an indicator for things you could interact with, even just the cursor changing colors or something like that. I'm not a big fan of the camera moving when you aren't doing anything but that's just a personal opinion. I also have a habit to use the escape key to close out of menus which quits your game so I may have had to restart a few times...

I kinda wish there was an enemy but the atmosphere was creepy enough. Excellent work on atmosphere!

This was really cool, I kept expecting the hotel guy to hop the counter and kill me after ringing the bell 100 times.

this game looked the part, the atmosphere was intense. i was a little scared to proceed lol

I really loved the way lighting was used (And the fact you can actually ring the bell)

But it'd be better if there was some other goals to push yourself to actually do scary stuff.

Aditionally, more music would do wonders for the game. That moment in the hallway? Absolutely terrifying, by far the scariest moment on the game.

Okay, I'm again amazed at the overall quality of the game, and only because your previous game was an absolute anomaly for jam games as far as I can tell, I played through the whole game even though I really don't enjoy atmospheric horror like this :D (On this note: Thank you for not including a jumpscare!)

Fives across the board. Again :'D

Totally a surreal experience. I'm still not sure what happened there at the end, but the atmosphere was great. I actually think that the lack of music per se (just this unsettling background noise) was very fitting.

Completely 5/5 on the mood!
