'Dead Mountaineer's Hotel' - 6 New Screens

by Rainier on Jan. 3, 2008 @ 2:01 a.m. PST

The game is based on a concept from a novel by Strugatsky Brothers. The remote hotel is a stage where a mysterious story takes play. A murder is central to the plot, and the various guests all have their own hidden roles and agendas. The game is a quest that adds to the original detective story. The inner logic of the quest is very clear in some cases, but it is up to the payer to find the optimal and correct solution in situations where his feelings may conflict with the law.
