Hotel 188

It's good. A few jump scares. No real entities that chase you, nothing happens that results in a game over or restart or anything. I don't think "dying" is even possible in this one. I like that it has a bit more of a focus on puzzles compared to some other games. So, as much as I like walking sims, this was a nice change of pace. A lot of other backrooms games lean really hard into the poolrooms, and I like that this one doesn't as much. Haven't seen many that focus as much on 188. Level 3 in the game is an 8-stage anomaly hunt. Heads up if that isn't your thing. It wasn't terribly difficult, and there's a good guide available here on Steam. The environment overall felt a bit small, and I didn't really get a feeling of being lost in a large liminal space like I do with other games. But the game otherwise had enough that this wasn't a big deal for me. I also don't like that there's no way to save progress. There is a level select, but I haven't checked if it persists between playthroughs. Overall I recommend it for the good design, lack of traditional entities, and somewhat different take on the concept. Well worth the price ($6 full price as of this review).

El juego me gustó. Destaca por su apartado gráfico y su atmósfera. Yo lo pude jugar todo en "épico" y se ve hermoso. Lo bueno es que es corto (lo terminé en 3 horas y media aprox).

Not bad at all. I liked it. The asking price is fair I think. Just to mention right out of the gate, there are no entities. We'll say "technically" no entities, as whatever does exist isn't going to be chasing you like the backrooms wire monster or partaking in jump scares. It's more creepy from a distance or coming across something (seemingly inanimate) in a hallway that wasn't there previously. Psychological horror instead of the overdone entity horror. I think where this game shines is in its first two levels. (There's 4 total.) They're the most maze-like and have the largest areas to explore. Large in this case is going to be relative, as the 4th level might win the "largest" category through technicality since it has a few giant open rooms to its name. I think the 3rd level was the my least favorite of the bunch. Not bad, but there's some amount of recycling done. The other 3 levels on the other hand were more unique in their design and implementation, and the 2nd level in particular was easily the strongest in terms of puzzles, map design, and satisfaction in exploration. The puzzles were decent. I liked the majority of them. Some aren't necessarily obvious at first, but after you reflet on them for a bit in trying to figure them out and what's going on, they generally do end up being fairly intuitive. With that said, there's also virtually no hand-holding in this (with a couple of exceptions like in the first puzzle), so at times it will require some degree of experimentation on the part of the player. Also, when I say no handholding, that also includes any kind of guidance. There's no explicitly stated objectives, where you need to go, where you're trying to get to, or guidance given on what you may need to do to solve the bulk of the puzzles. If I were to offer some constructive criticism to the developer... If all 4 levels had the same amount of depth to them that the 2nd one had, I think it would have made for a stronger title overall. Although I imagine the amount of work that would have been needed to do something like that would be fairly substantial. I don't mean to imply any kind of laziness, of course; just that you can feel or sense which levels and areas had more inspiration in their design and execution than in others. The game is neither gigantic or long, but it certainly was enjoyable. Given the glut
