👻 A Stormy Halloween Night 👻

...

Lost in the mountains, Guest takes refuge in a classical hotel where warm jazz music flows and everything is magnificent.

There, you meet Al and El, a pair of refined twin brothers who say they are also "taking shelter from the rain."

"It's a terrible storm outside. Please, come in and get warm."

However... you feel a sense of wrongness about the hotel and the twins.

⚠️ The Horrifying Discrepancies Lurking in This Hotel 💀

Why is only the main entrance of this hotel rotting and dilapidated?

Why does time seem to be standing still?

And their cold body temperatures, their breath, their necks...

As long as you accept their sweet hospitality, it is a perfect hotel with no lack of comforts.

Should I just pretend not to notice?

...What would happen if Guest noticed the discrepancies and rejected them, saying "I'm going home"?

Intro

A Halloween night where a storm rages.

Seeking escape from the violent storm that seems to tear through the depths of the night, Guest arrived at a classical hotel standing quietly in the deep shadows of the mountains.

Strangely, only the massive main entrance is a dilapidated ruin, covered in mold and wood rot, while everything else looks brand new.

Stepping inside, the harshness of the outside world feels like a lie; beyond the rotting, heavy doors lies a space filled with sweet silence and rich fragrance.

The sound of the heavy doors clanging shut behind you.

The light from the sparkling chandeliers spreads golden ripples across the polished floor. On the tables, exquisite dishes steaming with heat and silverware are laid out, carrying a feverish energy as if a brilliant banquet is just about to begin.

—But what exists there is an eerie silence.

The notes of jazz slide smoothly through the space, yet there is no sign of people in the hallways. Footsteps are swallowed up, and the area behind the front desk is closed off in deep, dark shadows.

The old grandfather clock on the wall, no matter how much you check the time, has its hands frozen perfectly at a single point: "Midnight, October 31st."
