Morningtide Motel

Your motel is busy for the first time in years. Antsy city-folk and dispossessed teens flood your rooms, and you can barely keep up. Now, after a week of all-nighters spent managing reservations, room service requests, and Yup! reviews, you begin to wonder… could you even fall asleep if you tried?

About the Game

Your motel is busy for the first time in years. Rumors of a mysterious curse abound, and the citizens of the city begin to spill out to the suburbs and beyond. Your establishment is now overflowing with with antsy city-folk, exhausted suburbanites, and dispossessed youngsters.

In this narrative-driven motel management game, you learn more about your customers’ lives as you check them in to your motel, managing bookings, amenity requests, and document validation. You must tend to the seemingly endless stream of customer service requests: bring your customers tea, coffee, or extra bedding, recommend restaurants, and cater to their every desire in order to maximize your customers’ satisfaction (and their Yup! scores).

As new regulations come down from above, your motel must live up to ever-heightening standards or face fines and even closure. With so much to do, you find yourself pulling all-nighter after all-nighter, and after weeks of tireless, sleepless nights, you begin wonder… could you even fall asleep if you tried?

  • Check customers in to your motel, accommodate amenity requests, and validate their documents.

  • Take care of your customers' room service requests: bring them tea or coffee, recommend restaurants, make their beds, and cater to their every desire to maximize their Yup! review scores.

  • Ensure your motel is up to code or face fines and closure, following an ever-increasing set of regulations and demands delivered to you by an almost too friendly evaluator.

  • Chat with your customers to learn more about their lives and troubles, as well as the mysterious curse that seems to be spreading throughout the kingdom.
