Gameplay

Hotel Greenwood is a first-person psychological horror adventure primarily focused on exploration and investigation. You play as Detective Aaron Parker, assigned to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of a young woman named Ashley Anderson inside an abandoned hotel where strange noises and supernatural occurrences are frequently reported, especially in its dark and creepy hallways.

Your journey involves finding key items — such as keys, bolt cutters, ID cards, and candles — while uncovering hidden paths, accessing locked areas, and avoiding hostile paranormal presences. A crucial part of the mission is to perform a ritual to free Ashley’s soul, which requires collecting five candles and a personal belonging of hers, placing them on a hidden pentagram.

Throughout the mission, you’ll explore air vents, discover hidden messages, encounter corpses, and witness disturbing visuals that build up a tense and claustrophobic atmosphere. Sudden sound cues, psychological tension, and narrative twists all contribute to a chilling experience — one that most likely ends in a very grim conclusion.
