Haunted Hotel

This game needed an editor, for the text in the game contained many grammatical and syntax errors. The story and plot was some what entertaining. It's an old style hidden object game but not done as well as Huntsville, Prime Suspects, Ravenhearst, or Madame Fate. Unless you're a die hard fan of the Haunted Hotel games, I'd skip this.

I remember buying this game at office depot when I was like 10, for anyone without nostalgia it's not that good of a game but its close to my heart nonetheless

Poor quality game with poor quality graphics. Do not buy!

Too small can't see the objects. Can't play fullscreen. Clicked on objects don't always register. Not very good.

The story is pretty run of the mill and told entirely through long text dumps and pictures. The minigames felt like they were from the 90s, I was shocked that this was made close to 2010. I was going to say it's very good for its time, but I can't even say that anymore. There is a lot of repetition in the rooms and sometimes they'll ask you to find the exact same thing so if you're going to marathon playing this like I was for a bit, it gets boring really fast. I thought I would go through and finish, but seeing that some people put 5 hours into it... that's more than I want to give to this game. You're in a haunted hotel. You're solving the same puzzles and hidden objects for floor after floor. They get a little harder, but not hard enough to justify anything. I'm hoping one of the newer installments will have more to offer.

What a slog. The story is pages upon pages of text. The hidden object scenes are extremely repetitive and a lot of the objects are obscured by other objects that are not removable. The bonus games are also boring and repetitive. The ending was mediocre. This is 3 and a half hours of my life that I wish I could get back. Rating: 1/10

I don’t generally believe, unlike some people in games ageing, but the flaws of Haunted Hotel upon release have not made the game anymore playable over the years, so it has indeed dated. It’s a shame really, because the plot is quite interesting but needs further expansion. The low-resolution graphics don’t do the visuals any favours, and everything from the visual design to the story is way too repetitive to be fun. I can only look at that same corridor and those same rooms a few times without feeling completely bored, let alone doing it fifteen times. The upside to all this is (at least at the time of writing), Specialbit Studio, as a developer, still exists, making better quality games than this. If anything, this game is a historical curiosity; it’s interesting to go back and look at the humble beginnings of what the Haunted Hotel series later became.

its about 3 to 4 hours long if steam allowed you to give a middle ground rating i do that game looks like its from the HOG era of 2000 when this was made in 2010 when you compare it to other 2010 HOGS this is a bit of a joke it was okay tho
