I feel terrible writing this review, because this game started out very promising. There will be many spoilers, and while I will tag them all, I will try to warn which ones are mechanical spoilers and which are story spoilers.

* The game is short, as many others said. My first play-through, where I crossed every T and dotted every I, came in at just under three hours.
* On a positive note, the graphics are (mostly) well done, the voice work is amazing, and the atmosphere is suitably calm/unnerving at times.
* Mechanical spoiler: Very few of your "choices" matter until the penultimate moment. The game keeps hinting the guests could come back any moment and catch you if you aren't keeping the rooms exactly as they were, but... They never show.
* Story spoiler: The story is just not interesting. It starts out strong in atmosphere, and then kind of ends on a whimper.
* There are four actual characters you interact with in the story. It's incredibly lean, and disappointing. There are also all of 5 or so small hotel rooms, a lobby, and a basement to explore.
* Story spoiler: The plot twist for the true ending is so out of left field, or at least it feels like it at the time, It makes sense in retrospect if you re-contextualize everything. It's supposed to be some dramatic reveal, but it just makes you go 'oh, okay I guess'.
* Story & mechanics spoiler: Being a "good" maid who is truly invisible, leaving everything the way you found it, not interfering with evidence, playing like the guests could come back at any moment nets you the worst ending in the game, even though the game keeps implying you need to be careful about lying or tampering. To get the best, you need to actively destroy evidence because the cops will pin it on the wrong people for... reasons, even though in the true ending you have ample evidence to prove who the real killer is.

I truly hope this team takes another crack at making games, but this one was just a disappoint for me. There are not multiple mysteries and many guest lives to take a peek into; there is one mystery (and in my opinion, a weak one) that ends abruptly and without a finale buildup. I will forget this game tomorrow, and that's a real shame because I can tell genuine work went into it.
