About the Game

Till Checkout Do Us Part is a first-person psychological horror game about Harold, a quiet man who runs the motel with his wife Margaret. To passing unmarried couples, the motel looks like a place to rest. In truth, it’s a trap.

Inspired by classic psychological thrillers of the 60s and 80s, the story is tense, grounded, and told scene by scene without cutscenes. It plays like a narrative-driven walking simulator mixed with psychological horror.

Some guests checks out. Some never leave.

PLOT:

Tired of the city, college student Rachel and her boyfriend Mark, who is struggling Actor in New York, head upstate for a quiet getaway. As night falls and fog thickens, they pull off the main highway and find a small roadside motel.

FEATURES:

  • Psychological horror thriller inspired by classic films.

  • Cinematic presentation with a vintage film feel.
