She can only be escaped by flashing your camera in her face, but you can only do that by finding her in the dark first, listening through your headphones whilst she whispers weird nonsense to herself to get a feel for where she is. Moving through the rooms, a creepy baby then needs quite literally singing to sleep with a lullaby of your choice, forcing you to croon into the microphone at just the right volume, lest you get your face ripped off. The game continues in much the same way, even taking pictures of you with your own webcam at key jump scares to add to its photo-library of terrified guests at the hotel, which you can browse through if you make it out alive from an unknown serial killer's lair.
If all that wasn't enough, entering your phone details results in a real-life call to tell you exactly how to escape. But as many players soon found out, that wasn't exactly the end of it - the game would call you at a later date to tell you that you never really left the hotel, and that there's no real escape from its horrors.
If anything was enough to make you shut your laptop and never mess with the internet again, this was definitely it. A disappointing sequel came in the form of Asylum the next year, but didn't have the same draw or creative flair that intrigued so many players the first time around. Asylum also actually required codes taken from Doritos packets to enter the site, a clear sign that money was the driving force rather than giving something back to their consumers - which is fine, they have to make it somehow - but the choice vastly altered the tone from Hotel's brand freedom.
Playing on the anxieties of a generation growing up online, Hotel was an excellent reflection of how technology can come back to bite us on the ass, before disappearing into the ether itself. Many speculated that by using personal information, the game had condemned itself to being sued out of existence - or on the other hand, that it was so scary it had to be taken down for fear of terrifying people half, or fully, to death.
Whilst either would be a heroic end to Hotel 's online run, the truth is sadly a lot less interesting. Doritos just decided they'd had enough of paying for the domain and let it expire, dropping the whole thing into obscurity.
It's somewhat fitting for the mystery nightmare hotel storyline, but sad enough that new players will never get to look back on this neat little spooky game. Hotel is an Internet game that can only be played from 6pm to 6am. Players in the game are simulating being locked in a hotel room full of very creepy things.
A player has to use their wits and common sense to try and get out of the hotel room before 6am. That is just an urban legend. There is a pin that needs to be removed to get them out.

You could, however, change the time on your computer to access the game at any time of the day. The premise of the game is to leave the hotel after willingly checking-in. You awaken in the middle of the night in your room at this nightmarish hotel. There are strange ominous noises echoing in the distance.
As your breath quickens, and your heart pounds out of fear, your instinct starts screaming at you to get out. So you throw your shirt on, dash into the hallway, and the game begins. A journey through the hotel is comprised of ten levels; each of which involves some form of a mind-boggling puzzle.
You have to figure each one of them out while haunting apparitions and startlingly real ghouls lurk about. They all range from ridiculously easy like figuring out the correct door to jarringly tense and complex like figuring out the code in the elevator with a creepy man staring at you with his soulless eyes. Your real enemy in the game is your own adrenaline and the psychological paranoia that the game cultivates.
That, in itself, is what gained Hotel its notoriety. The adrenaline rush an impending jump-scare gives you is a classic guilty pleasure. People just like feeling scared and some are just intrigued by the idea of being startled. Good luck with that. And upon completion, the game rewards you with shots of yourself as you played through ten levels.
Get ready for some immensely wacky shots that will make you laugh after all the nervousness you went through. Unfortunately, a decade since its release, Hotel is available no longer. It was simply a promotional game made to last for a short time. Doritos just decided they had had enough of paying for the domain and left it to expire. It was a neat spooky little game. And no one will deny that Hotel was a stunning product of its time.
It had creatively invasive gameplay that more scary games of today can take inspiration from. Maybe someone will make an even better rendition of it someday, but for now, it looks like the hotel has closed — and the less-glamorous asylum that followed it has shut down.
