The further through the game you get, the more places you can explore, although it's a shame that there isn't actually a whole lot to interact with through the hotel. Each floor has a door you must unlock with a code hidden somewhere in the hotel. These aren't the only puzzles you have to deal with though, as even outside the typical puzzle rooms there will be more problems to solve.
While not a problem in the shorter tests, with the longer ones this can get particularly annoying, especially the final test which has a number of different sections, and one wrong move can lead to you having to do the same thing over and over again. One downside to these puzzles is the fact that there is no undo button or way of going back, so unfortunately if you do something wrong in a specific way in the middle of the test, then you might be required to restart the whole thing in order to progress.
The difficulty curve for these puzzles is fairly steady, and it's doubtful you'll get stuck on any for too long so long as you frequent the genre. While this begins quite simply, things get more complicated once more colours, teleportation, and rotating rooms are introduced. The cubes are coupled with coloured gates, so to get through a red gate you must have absorbed the colour from a red cube somewhere. Your character has a contraption which allows them to absorb colours from cubes. The puzzles in these tests, whilst technically unique, will feel reminiscent of puzzles from other games from the genre. Your ultimate aim is to hit the roof, which will allow you to escape.įive hotel levels don't take very long to explore, but it's a good experience nonetheless In order to break the cycle you must complete a series of "authentication tests" which allow you to climb higher through the floors of the hotel. You play out the same routine every day in order for the hotel to keep running, which must start with your going down for breakfast every morning, and Cooper tells you of a way that you'll be able to break free from this cycle and escape the hotel. Things take a more dramatic turn once you get a call from Cooper, a woman who tells you that you're actually being held in the hotel against your will. Your character goes down to eat breakfast and the delivery might have you wondering for a while where exactly the puzzling aspect of the game comes in. The locations that you can explore initially are limited and the game nudges you, rather than forces you, in a particular direction in order to progress the story along.įor the first part of the game, things move along at a fairly slow and mundane pace. After a wake-up call at your door by one of the androids that run the hotel, you are free to explore at your own pace. The game begins with your character waking up in a hotel room with no explanation of what you're doing there.
