'Concierge' Is A Surrealist Puzzle/Horror Game Coming To PC In September - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on June 18, 2025 @ 6:00 a.m. PDT

Concierge is an atmospheric, genre-bending narrative puzzle game set within a desolate, snowbound hotel.

You wake up snowbound at a decrepit inn in the middle of nowhere. Hey, at least you've got a room! Oh, and have you met the concierge? He looks every bit as senescent as this place, but I promise he's a nice man. Acts like he knows you, the old chum. So, who are you again?

...More importantly, have you seen any of the other guests around?

Players awaken with no voice and no direction, greeted only by a cryptic concierge and an outdated camcorder — the Parasonik. What follows is a non-linear descent into fragmented realities, as players uncover lost guests, decipher impossible enigmas, and confront distorted echoes of artistic ambition, memory, and self-erasure.

Across six strange rooms and six surreal game worlds, players must solve puzzles that abandon convention, obey no tutorial, and speak only in riddles. Each encounter is a self-contained act — wildly different in tone, mechanics, and aesthetic — yet stitched together by a brooding narrative that builds to a singular final revelation.

Concierge doesn’t exist solely to entertain. It exists to haunt — to stick to your ribs like a story half-remembered, told by a stranger who knows too much about you. Following in the footsteps of cult classics like Yume Nikki, Who’s Lila? and Iron Lung, it joins a lineage of experimental indies that thrive on discomfort and discovery.


Key Features:

  • Maximalist Mystery – Concierge’s cryptic design invites constant speculation, with every detail hiding potential secrets. It doesn’t guide. It dares.
  • Six Rooms, Six Guests, Six Realities – From VHS-soaked hide-and-seek to abstract platforming purgatories and somber personality quizzes, every level redefines the player’s relationship to play itself.
  • The Parasonik Camcorder – Your one true tool. Uncover phantoms, solve optical illusions, and capture slivers of reality hidden in static and shadow.
  • Bold and Unsettling Aesthetic – An idiosyncratic, darkly esoteric artistic vision steeped in subdued melancholy, viral lo-fi analog horror, and cinema of psychological decay.
  • It's All Up to You – Every mechanic must be learned intuitively. No one will hold your hand. Reach out beyond your comfort zone to find mastery and meaning in this confusing world of nebulous questions and flimsy answers.

Concierge is coming to PC (Steam) in September 2025.
