About the Game

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.
