Haunted Hotel

Too small can't see the objects. Can't play fullscreen. Clicked on objects don't always register. Not very good.

I don’t generally believe, unlike some people in games ageing, but the flaws of Haunted Hotel upon release have not made the game anymore playable over the years, so it has indeed dated. It’s a shame really, because the plot is quite interesting but needs further expansion. The low-resolution graphics don’t do the visuals any favours, and everything from the visual design to the story is way too repetitive to be fun. I can only look at that same corridor and those same rooms a few times without feeling completely bored, let alone doing it fifteen times. The upside to all this is (at least at the time of writing), Specialbit Studio, as a developer, still exists, making better quality games than this. If anything, this game is a historical curiosity; it’s interesting to go back and look at the humble beginnings of what the Haunted Hotel series later became.

Really outdated, with arcade scenes which I generally don't like and very difficult for me, but so FUNNY...

Great hidden object games with wonderful mini games!

What a slog. The story is pages upon pages of text. The hidden object scenes are extremely repetitive and a lot of the objects are obscured by other objects that are not removable. The bonus games are also boring and repetitive. The ending was mediocre. This is 3 and a half hours of my life that I wish I could get back. Rating: 1/10

small text and graphic! Its an old game so nothing can fix that! repeated areas and puzzles gets annoying real quick!
