About Ways

A lone urbex in an abandoned hotel - what could go wrong?Explore the surroundings and find the mysteries of this place. Don't forget to be quiet - urbex is an illegal adventure, and you don't want to be found...

Explore the hotel

Your expedition takes you to a very old, abandoned mining town. In this town, an imposing hotel attracts your attention. You find yourself on the dark and gloomy floors of this hotel...Explore the rooms, bedrooms, corridors, staff rooms and roof: every room has something to tell, or something to hide.

A truly abandoned place?

Why is the power still on? Why is the equipment still usable? Why are doors, corridors and rooms blocked? Does this have anything to do with the fact that the hotel is abandoned? For that matter, why is it abandoned? Is it really because the town's main business has gone bankrupt? Lots of unanswered questions... and it's up to you to find them.

You're not alone.

One of the biggest fears of urbex enthusiasts is stumbling across something unexpected (and especially someone) during the expedition. For your first urbex experience, this isn't going to happen, is it?

Welcome to “Ways”.

Ways is an immersive horror game created by Panic Games Studio, an independent video game studio set up by high school students with no previous development experience.

Not recommended Dec 22, 2024

Is this a joke? Mouse and keyboard doesn't work properly (W and A did not work). Controller doesn't work properly (I could use the analog sticks but that's it) So I combined the two together. That's right, I was playing with controller and m&k at the same time to give this game a fair shot. Then I got to the first puzzle, a number pad, and it only took my first two inputs and then... it just stopped working, so I stopped trying. Trailer had me interested, 5 minutes of gameplay convinced me this game is unfinished.

Very good demo. The spooky ambiance is very well made and makes the game scary. It's still the demo so it lacks a few features I'd like to see in the future, such as controls customization, larger interaction hitboxes, and we wanna see what the monster looks like!

Recommended Dec 26, 2024

Just finished the game! Its an incredible realistic horror game where you explore an unsettling hotel and find your way out from an evil ghost. Highly enjoy this with interesting story, gameplay and amazing experience
