Story

You play as Warren Pendry , a businessman on a work trip, just trying to get some rest before a big day. Everything seems normal when he checks into the hotel.

Inside the room, there’s a strange frog painting above the bed with an odd quote. Weird, but whatever. Warren calls it a night, but he’s woken up by a knock at the door. No one’s there, and the hallway just feels… off. Then the door slams behind him, and he’s locked out of his room.

You’ve got 10 minutes to explore the floor. Most doors are locked, but a few are open, and in each one, that same frog painting looks a little more disturbing, and the quote changes just slightly. Lights flicker. Doors creak. There are sounds that shouldn’t be there, a throat clearing, a distant voice. Warren’s breathing gets heavier as the tension builds. And no matter how far you walk, the glowing red “Exit” sign at the end of the hallway stays just out of reach.

After 10 minutes, Warren suddenly wakes up in bed. Just a bad dream, right? But when he opens the door to head downstairs… it all starts again.
