(Original release: 2010) Close all other windows, turn up the volume and play in full screen mode! You wake up in the lobby of an abandoned hotel, with nothing but a badly written brochure and a headache. You soon discover many mysterious things about the hotel, but you really don't care, you just want to get out of the terrible place. This game is quite difficult and may confuse people not familiar with point and click games. If you don't get it, just keep exploring. If you get stuck, you can check the walk through (link in the Notes and Credits.) In the rare situation you complete the entire game, it will give you a password and tell you to open the project "GRIVEN (Ending.)" NAVIGATION As you move the cursor around the screen, it will take the the following shapes, which mean you can do various things when you click: Up Arrow- Move forward. Left Arrow- Turn left. Right Arrow- Turn right. Plus Sign- Look at an object up close. Down Arrow- Stop looking at something up close, or step backwards in some places. Circle- Change something: flip a switch, open a door, add an object to your inventory, etc. Small Dot- There is nothing to do here. Square- Usually a cut scene. Also: You can use the arrow keys or the WASD keys to move left, right, forwards and backwards. INVENTORY: You never need to drag an object at any point in this game! Some objects you can take (by clicking) and add to your inventory at the bottom of the screen. To use them, go to the place you want to use them, and click the object once. The mouse will temporarily turn into picture of the object. Move the mouse to where you want to put the object, and click again. The object will either do something, or it will return to your inventory if it can't be used there. In addition, at the beginning of the game you have a brochure, which appears in your inventory. You cannot use it, but you can read it. To do this, click it. You can turn the pages by moving the mouse to the left and right of it and clicking. To stop reading it, click the bottom of the screen.
Due to the update to Scratch 2.0, I have fixed a few online bugs and the game should now work online! I may also include a version with higher quality images in the future.
