Paranormal Motel

Unfortunately, I cannot give this game a thumbs-up because it is practically in an unfinished state. Nevertheless, there are some good things. Good Stuff: - The setting is very original. I like the idea of a hotel receptionist during the night. - Finally, some good female character design. The main character neither looks like a tomboy nor like a pornstar. - The skirt mechanic was pretty nice. Bad Stuff (Ordered from worst to mild): - Very unstable. It crashes if you play too long. - The run speed is very slow to me. It takes ages to go to the required hotel room. - It would be good to have a save checkpoint (e.g at the half of the game). - Seems kind of poorly optimised. While gameplay is smooth, I can hear my laptop screaming. - Other than the skirt mechanic, the character movement seems very robotic. - It would be nice if you got rid of the Text-to-Speech because it sounds very awkward. The voice acting can be done for example by you and some friends. Don't be discouraged. It doesn't need to be state-of-the art. All in all, I am confident that the game has a lot of potential. I will keep watching further updates and if it gets good, I might turn this into a positive review. Good luck!

For a buck or two you get exactly this: A beautiful rendered motel to walk around for 30 minutes. Some of the worst voice acting I have ever heard in my life. Ever. Certainly lost in translation. 2-3 Jumpscares. Played on Epic settings there is actually a nice atmosphere to the game. For $1.50 its priced right.

So where to start with this one... OK so as many have pointed out, the setting of a hotel is quite good and you get to pet the kitty at the start! but thats about all I have to say thats really great about this one. Im just going to list what I didnt like and what could be done to fix it in my own humble opinion. * Way too short, This can be finished even as a first time player in under 30 mins. maybe 20 if you know what your doing. I noticed when walking around there is a room you can see into and clearly there is interiors in some of the rooms so they could have been utilized. also [spoiler]The generator room could have had a minigame of some sort to open it maybe? seemed anticlimatic to press E on the door and a spoop jumpscare jpg hit you [/spoiler] there is a lot of untapped potential here in this map * The voices and Voice acting. I can only assume it was translated with Google Translate then ran through a Text-To-Speech for the "Voice Acting". Im fairly sure some people would be happy to lend their voices and send some snippets. Why not reach out to the community? though wont like "Thanks you babe" is going down in the history books for this game. Also maybe clean up the little girls translation some... she accuses the player character of wanting to do something that did make me :/ * Please raise the camera height a bit for the player, when I was in rooms and such the perspective made me think I was 4ft tall * Increase the run speed, its hardly better than walking speed... though walking speed is also slow too * Rework the ending text - wont lie I hardly understood the ending text at all but got the "gist" of it * Some optimisation work is needed, just some general polish under the hood and maybe some work on the lighting as well (clean room objective is an example of that)

Sloooooow walking to handle guest requests and complaints. The only horror in that is the tedium. Lost girl never appeared. Next task is in the staff room- door will not open. I'm done.

Game needs a lot of work but I had to stop playing when the little girl accused the main character of wanting to take her to a dark corner to touch her. That's a little much. No thanks.

Too many bugs

I got this game a while back and only decided to check it out recently to record a YouTube video on it. As much as I'd like to give it a thumbs up, I really can't. Let me start of by saying that the voice acting sounds like it's something of google translate. I gotta say that the game is really confusing and unrealistic. The walking is very slow and it's hard to get around places. For the money, you would't expect much at all, so for that reason the game is kind of worth the money. But it's probably the worst horror game I've ever played, so unless you're bored and want to play a 20 minute game to pass the time then sure, go ahead, check it out if you really want to. But if you genuinely want to find a good cheap horror game to play, yeah the graphics might be amazing but the jump scares are cheesy and the game is generally boring. So this probably isn't the game you're looking for.

kind of a buggy mess. how many bitcoin miners are in this ? please say 0 right now. aesthetically quite interesting, so i'm still recommending it. perhaps if more people download it, the bitcoin mining that may or may not be happening on my computer will have lessened its burdens. sort of like when everyone comes together to chop up ingredients for a burger-making station at a family picnic (or more specifically, barbeque. a picnic should not have any significant self-serve stations. that's doing too much).

When you buy budget games on Steam, it's like playing Russian roulette. Sometimes you may find a hidden gem, while other times you get a stale dog turd. While "Paranormal Motel" admittedly isn't the worst game I've ever played, it definitely does give me that "you get what you pay for" energy. On the plus side, the graphics are quite nice and the environment pretty realistic. The game is a little bit on the short side (you'll beat it in about half an hour), but it gets the job done. Conversely, there's a lot of issues at play here. First and foremost; the game is rife with grammar errors, almost as if the script was fed through Google Translate. The game uses those crappy AI voices where I think it would've served the game better to use real voice actors. Your player character walks VERY slowly, and even running doesn't really help the slow movement. For some reason there's a lot of file bloat, it doesn't really make sense to me why the game is 11 GB (I really hope it isn't mining crypto). The scares were okay I guess, if a bit heavyhanded towards the end. [spoiler] When you open the game's settings for the first time it hits you with a cheap jumpscare, like who does that? [/spoiler] For $1 you could do a lot worse, granted; but you could also take that dollar and buy a few cups of instant ramen.
