A mystery adventure

Following a car breakdown, you find yourself forced to spend the night in a mysterious seaside resort. Unable to leave immediately, you are unexpectedly offered an opportunity: to take the place of the hotel manager who disappeared a few days ago... To find a way back home, you’ll need to unravel the mysteries of the resort and solve the enigma surrounding the former manager's disappearance, all while managing the iconic establishment of the town.


Become a hotel manager

Organize your days to meet the needs of your spectral clientele. Maintain the hotel's cleanliness, tend to the boiler room, unveil new services, unlock additional floors... Plenty on your plate! Engaging in certain hotel tasks may yield surprises, unveiling clues or triggering special events with resort residents.


Conduct an investigation

Eager to escape, you've realized your car won't cut it. Luckily, you found the ex-hotel manager's journal, hinting at an escape plan. The only problem is, the pages are faded, and you need to earn Spectral Ink by dealing with the spirits in your hotel. Follow the clues in your journal, build connections, explore various areas, collect and use items creatively!


Uncover the secrets

The cozy tourist retreat vibe quickly fades as suspicion grows within you. Something's amiss, and to find a way out, you'll need to unpack and adapt to this new life. Immerse yourself in the community, delve into the city's past, rituals, folklore, and events—all fair game for gathering crucial information! On your journey, unexpected friendships may form, yet they may also bring to light dark secrets.
