About the Game

It's your first night on the job, and there's a serial killer on the loose.

Step into the shoes of a night receptionist at the Moonlight Motel. Check in guests, keep the business running, and dig into the truth behind the killings. Be careful; there's more to this motel than it seems.

A slow-burn murder mystery with job sim elements.

Run The Motel

As the night shift's sole employee, it’s your responsibility to keep our guests happy. Offer prompt, polite service, honor every request, and try not to make mistakes. You don’t want to get fired on your first night, do you?

Solve A Murder Mystery

Three deaths. No explanation. No suspects. People are going missing, so why is business at the Moonlight Motel better than ever? Do some research, connect the dots, and interrogate a cast of strange guests to uncover their secrets.

Supernatural Horror

Time flows in mysterious ways here; the hands on your watch wind freely in both directions. Whatever haunts this place has you in its clutches, and not even death can free you. Solving the case is your only escape from this nightmare.
