The plot device to get us, as players, into the game felt contrived and nonsensical, and I didn't like the cold open at all. The motivation for the whole thing was very poorly established. Once inside, the live actor didn't seem to serve any in-game purpose other than to create tension by artificially pausing our momentum and forcing us to hide. The room would have held up just fine without that. The room itself was solid, with some nice reveals and puzzles that fit the theme. I especially enjoyed the in-game clock and the unique way we stopped it.
Gameplay
Atmosphere
The set design was a little odd, in that it was supposed to be a refurbished 40's hotel about to have a grand reopening, but the dim lighting and worn props made it feel seedy and past its prime. It felt a little at odds with the storyline.
Customer service
Story
The setup is absurd, and with the cold open that plunges you into the action, the backstory is rushed and unclear. When another "victim" reveals themself later it feels random and unearned. The overall experience of the room is great, but these elements just don't land.
