Livestream: Escape from Hotel Izanami

3 morons VS 1 mascot killer I overall truly enjoyed my time with this game, however it has some peculiar flaws worth mentioning, especially considering the price. The premise is simple yet intriguing, with the story encompassing some interesting ideas and managing to keep me invested until the end. The characters are sweet and likable, but often painfully irrational during tense moments. Moreover, the detailed art looks stunning and the eerie atmosphere gets well-maintained. The various elements within the gameplay - visual novel, side scroller, puzzles - incorporate exactly what I generally enjoy, yet the execution of this combination could've used some refinement. My biggest issue with this game is that it doesn't fully "commit" to any game genre/type and instead feels superficial as a whole; the visual novel parts are fairly brief without going in-depth, the puzzles and survival elements are fun but rather weak compared to average games of this sort. Additionally there's the attempt at mild ecchi fragments, which end up rather clashing with the horror, due to how they're portrayed. Despite all, I had a pleasant experience, but definitely acknowledge the large room for improv…

Livestream: Escape from Hotel Izanami delivers a creepy, stylish horror experience with some genuinely tense moments. Its level design feels more focused and polished than many similar indie horror titles, making each area memorable. It’s also a great game to play with others watching or guiding you, adding to the suspense and fun.

This was actually my first time playing this kind of horror game, and honestly, it was a really cool experience. I really liked the mix of anime-style characters, visual novel elements, survival horror, exploration, puzzles, and story. Exploring the abandoned Hotel Izanami while trying to figure out what happened kept me interested. The story surprised me too. At first, I thought it would mainly be about escaping the hotel and surviving the mascot, but the more I discovered, the more interested I became in the mystery behind the hotel and what was happening to the girls. I also liked Mio, Nana, and Azusa. Seeing them slowly realize how serious the situation is and how scared they become made me more invested in trying to help them escape. The horror itself was pretty fun for me. The hotel has a creepy atmosphere, and the chase sections can get really tense when that mascot suddenly appears. Once that thing starts chasing me, I'm immediately looking for somewhere to hide. 😂 The murderous mascot with the bloody hatchet definitely gave me some stressful moments. One mistake and it's game over, so I had to be careful whenever I knew a chase might happen. I also enjoyed the explo…

Honestly this game is great, i love the characters, progression of the story, and how detailed to get all the endings is too. i give it a good recommendation to anyone looking for a horror game that has ecchi elements if you are into that, and a pretty detailed path to acquire all the endings. i give it 10/10 in my books

save often and keep a few different save files

The thing the boosted this game into me loving it is that it is fully Japanese voiced - every word. I love hearing their voices speak it with heart instead of just reading it. So, other than that, it is a good scary 2d side scroller. I even got scared for the girls because I did not want them to die. Now, for the negative thing is, there is no button to run. I would like my character to run when I want them to so I can save time. Maybe, had they added a run button and stamina, this would have been more awesome. But, overall, it was a fun experience.
