Hotel Mélancolie

AMAZING GAME! I play horror games just for fun and this one is my all time indie horror game! The atmosphere was great, and it keeps you guessing as to what happened! The end was such a twist and it was great! Give this game at least a try! You will NOT regret it!

Not a super long game. Not an overwhelmingly scary game. But a really awesome game. I am a scaredy cat so it was a good level of fear for me without over-doing it or under-whelming me. The story kept me guessing until all was revealed and did not let me down. My only complaint was the graphics gave me a bit of a queasy feeling at first, even with motion blur off, but once I got into it I was able to push that aside and focus on the game. Overall, a great game. 9/10

Hotel Mélancolie is a short, PS1-style psychological horror game. You wake up alone in a looping hotel where corridors shift, rooms change, and fragments of memory slowly surface. It focuses on guilt, repetition, and consequence, leaning heavily on atmosphere and environmental storytelling rather than complex mechanics. Pros ✔️ Strong retro horror aesthetic - The PS1-style visuals are handled really well and fit the tone of the story without feeling gimmicky. ✔️ Good use of environment to build tension - The hotel itself does a lot of the work. Subtle changes and looping spaces keep things unsettling without needing constant scares. ✔️ Solid story beats - The narrative moments are effective and the voice acting provided a good ability to keep me invested. Cons ❌ The plot twist feels rushed - The reveal comes across more like an info dump at the end opposed to a sudden surprise. ❌ Leans more walking sim than anything else - There’s not a lot of mechanical depth beyond moving through spaces and observing changes. ❌ One puzzle felt counterintuitive - A sewer puzzle in particular seemed to go against its own clue in a way that felt less “think about it” and more “someone missed a check.” The sound also needed a balance check as it was jarringly loud at this point compared to the rest of the game. Conclusion I liked this as a quick horror experience. It’s very much a one-and-done kind of game, and I think that’s where it works best. I did find myself wishing there was a bit more to dig into — more puzzles, more interaction, just a bit more meat overall — but what’s here is still effective. It’s a solid choice if you’re in the mood for a short psychological horror you can finish in one sitting, and I don’t regret the time I spent with it. Score 7.5/10 Endless Corridors — A haunting stay that’s worth checking into, even if you don’t linger.

Başlangıçta basit bir PT klonu olarak düşündüğüm ancak kısa bir süre sonra basitçe ama kendine has ve güzel bir şekilde gerilimle birlikte hikayesini basamak basamak açığa çıkardığımız sürükleyici kısa bir hikaye olarak aklımda kalacak bir oyun oldu. İngilizcesi çok zor değil ama konuşmalarda altyazı olmadığı için (Oyun geliştirici konuşmalara altyazı ekleyeceğini söyledi) dinleme kısmında biraz iyi olmanız gerekiyor ama seslendirmeyi yapan kişinin diksiyonu ve ses tonu da güzel olduğundan o kısımda da çok zorlanacağınızı sanmıyorum. Basit kısa biraz gerici ve korkutucu bir oyun arıyorsanız Hotel Mélancolie size aradığınızı sunacaktır. Oyunu tamamen sonuna kadar oynadığınızdan ve etraftaki nesnelerle ve metinlerle iyice etkileşime girdiğinize emin olun ama. Böylece hikayede hiçbir şeyi kaçırmamış olursunuz. İyi eğlenceler.

A short, indie psychological horror game that takes you through several atmospheres, takes pleasure to puzzle your mind and grabs you deeper and deeper into the unexpected. The gameplay is around 1h or less and you won't see time passing, as you're getting lost in the terrible loops of Hotel Mélancolie (the word is so well chosen) and wishing to understand the reason of your presence in this singular place. From a more technical POV, I enjoyed everything : the graphics are PS1-style but every movements were so smooth, distinguishable. The story, the narrator voice and all the mechanics around it are pretty effective, and above all, the music 👌 Master piece full of emotion. I highly recommend this experience, which might remind you other games but is so unique at the same time.

I have played the entire game, game audio and sfx is realistic, in my opinion overall experience is Good.

Just beat the game. Absolutely lovely story. Twist and turns I didn't see. Make sure you don't jump the gun and stop playing... you'lll see.. Highly recommend for any indie horror enthusiast.

C'est trop compliqué de mettre des sous-titres ?! Surtout pour un jeu court (30 minutes) qui mise tout sur son histoire... ^^"

Ein kurzes kleines Horrorgame, mit einer Story die ich nicht erwartet habe. Die Rätsel sind gut machbar und ich feier den Humor des Entwicklers :)

The game started off interesting and, honestly, ended up being a hidden gem among similar titles. I really enjoyed the game design, the atmosphere was on point, and the narrative kept me hooked. Overall, it was a really fun experience!
