Field notes
The interface exposes a granular control scheme: keyboard and mouse movement, vehicle steering, flashlight, belongings, journal, room locking, hiding, and hotel duties. It also lists spoken dialogue with subtitles, a location-changing original score, and adjustable sound layers; a quiet-exploration option removes hostile encounters with Jack. The page advertises visits with up to eight players, but the captured session ends with “The hotel could not open. Try again.”
