Multiple ways to play including 2 player online coop mode
Summary: From the creators of Until Dawn Switch between the perspective of 5 playable characters - All can live or die in your version of the story. There’s an interesting use of sound recording equipment too, as you follow the direction of where a creepy sound is coming from. Others have light sources like torches or camera flash equipment. Someone has a business card they can use to unlock drawers. There is also a very basic inventory where you can collect objects and have a standard key object for each character. Jumping and balancing is a thing to take in too. Now there is the opportunity to push objects around, like large boxes, or find things to climb over. New gameplay elements have been added to the game as well as the usual dialogue choices that affect the outcome of each character and the QTE action sequences. The pacing – about three-quarters of the way through – feels slow and it feels longer than others, maybe to its detriment. I enjoyed the story even though it was embracing its clichés a bit too much, and at times the structure of the whole story felt a bit rushed. Overall the story does hit some great shock horror beats, picking all the old favorites: Scary mannequins, ruined rooms, and failing architecture. And that is the beauty of these games, in the fact that you will have to make that choice. 
Its characters on screen are diverse in personality and tropes there are ones you want to live and some you want killed off immediately. It has some great moments, stuff like every good horror movie will deliver as you shout at the screen – “WHY DID YOU DO THAT?”.
The story feels like a mixture of the Saw movies and a bit of Friday the 13th where a masked figure stalks its victims silently in a single location. Then they realise that there is someone stalking them, making them play some horrendous games. They arrive together at the hotel and find that their host is nowhere to be seen and that there are some creepy things going on.
They get an invite to an island where a rich entrepreneur has recreated a hotel inspired by H.H. They produce flashy documentaries about crime and serial killers, but they haven’t been winning any awards. There is the spiky lighting tech, the emotive cameraman, the hard-put-upon intern, the work-driven presenter, and running the gang, the older cocksure director. Holmes puts you in the shoes of a low-budget documentary film crew.
