Livestream: Escape from Hotel Izanami

Livestream: Escape from Hotel Izanami - two girls are broadcasting from an abandoned hotel where people once disappeared. The fun turns into a nightmare: the talisman holding the curse is not going to let the guests out alive. Some of the premises are locked, and the keys are in the farthest corridors. The game is designed as a side platformer: running, jumping, searching for objects and small puzzles with keys. There are entities in the darkness, and you can only get away from them by running or hiding, since there is nothing to fight here. In addition to escaping from entities, there are moments where you just need to wait in a closet or under a table. Batteries for the flashlight are consumed, so the light is turned on as needed. The live broadcast is conducted from the perspective of the heroines, and some scenes are presented through camera shots, which adds tension. The plot is presented through notes, documents and filming footage: they form the story of the hotel and what happened here. The heroines comment on what is happening, and this exchange adds tension. The records of previous guests are scattered across drawers and shelves, and without them some of the locked doors cannot be opened. The atmosphere is based on the sound and sights of destroyed rooms: torn wallpaper, abandoned things, dark corridors. Some episodes require careful attention, and missing an item can return you to the beginning of the chapter. The continuation of the story is connected with the previous parts of the series, but can also be played independently. The riddles are often logical rather than speedy, and you can solve them calmly. For those who like short Japanese horror with live broadcast and an old hotel.
