You wake up alone in a quiet hotel. The corridors loop. The rooms change. Somewhere between the walls and the noise on the radio, a memory is trying to surface. A short, PS1-style psychological horror about guilt, repetition, and the weight of consequences.

About
A short, first-person psychological horror experience set inside a forgotten hotel where time, guilt, and memory all bleed together.
You wake up in Room 9.
The corridor outside loops back on itself.
Every time you step through the door, something has changed; the walls, the lights, the voice on the radio.
You explore, you listen, you notice the details; notes left behind, radios whispering half-truths, and the sound of someone pacing a floor above you that doesn’t exist.
As you move deeper into the building, fragments start to surface: distorted broadcasts, old notes, the sound of someone who shouldn’t be there. What begins as a quiet mystery becomes something darker.
Sometimes the hotel speaks. Sometimes it listens. You’ll know the difference.
Features
30-60 minutes of atmospheric psychological horror.
Lo-fi PS1-style visuals.
A complete psychological horror story told without cutscenes or text prompts.
Puzzles.
Subtle changes every loop; watch for the details.
There’s no combat. No instructions. Just a hotel that remembers you better than you remember yourself.
A secret for those who keep returning.
What you notice, and what you ignore, both matter.

Hotel Mélancolie was an absolute pleasure to play. The atmosphere is beautifully crafted and does an amazing job of pulling you into its world. Every part of the experience feels intentional, creating a mood that sticks with you long after you've finished playing. On top of that, the developers are incredibly kind and genuinely passionate about their game, which makes supporting them even more worthwhile. If you enjoy atmospheric psychological horror games with heart, I definitely recommend giving Hotel Mélancolie a try.
I really enjoyed the game, it's atmosphere and the plot twist. The story was a little confusing at first but it really pulled you in as it slowly came together,.
Game was gifted to me by my friend PotatoTerebi. I had a blast playing the game on Twitch! The PS1 style is simple and efficient, it sets the mood quite fast, same for the sound design, it felt like a proper immersive game. The story is interesting and what a plot twist! I highly recommand this game !
This was a pretty decent looping game in the style of PT, where you have almost the same level you just keep going through. Game got me with a few jump scares but for $4.00 it's not a bad time.
Really fun game! Kept me on the edge of my seat trying to piece together the story. Would 100% recommend to anyone who enjoys an atmospheric psychological horror.
Don't kill your wife !
45ish minutes of Scooby Doo hallways. A short story about well, I can't tell you otherwise or it would spoil the whole game. Let's just say that it is a trope of these games that I keep seeing. Even with the story being pretty predictable the gameplay is fun and supplies thrills as well as some puzzles that I had to look up how to complete. I recommend this game if you want to be stressed out in a hotel that you can never leave.
Une excellente surprise ! J’y suis allé en ne savant rien du jeu à part son synopsis et j’en suis ressorti avec une petite claque. Le jeu ne paye pas de mine, mais le sound design est bon, l’atmosphère génial mais c’est surtout la narration qui m’a le plus surpris. Très subtil au début, puis elle se découvre petit à petit par des notes (très courte), des description d’objets qui changent et encore d’autres subtils détails de mise en scène. Le tout pour arriver à un twist final qui va tout remettre en perspective et vous faire comprendre les détails vu précédemment, notamment avec un grand “haaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnn” haha 1 heure de jeu et un petit prix de 4€, c’est OUI.
