Dead Mountaineer's Hotel

A game that covers the spectrum. I had read the reviews and wasn't expecting much, but when I saw the game on sale for less than 4 dollars I thought I would give it a go. I am glad I did. Some aspects of this game are really great, others are awful. The artwork is fabulous and it helps the game exude atmosphere. It reminded me of 'Evil Under the Sun' with a bit of 'Black Mirror 1' and 'Syberia' thrown in, but in the mountains. The hotel was a dream to explore as it is huge and would be a fantastic place to stay. I loved the short sections outside, with the snow falling. The artists did a fab job. Difficulty is not too tough. I only needed to check a walkthrough once, when I couldn't fathom how to lure the owner out of his office. Kaisa is certainly very cute. The music is lovely for the most part, though a couple of horrendous rock pieces come in at odd moments and not just when entering the room of a particular character. Gameplay is ok, with a clear changing cursor. Now for ...

Dead Mountaineer's Hotel is a game based on the novel of the same name by the Strugatsky brothers, the generally pretty great Russian sci-fi authors who also wrote books like Roadside Picnic, which was the basis of the movie which was in turn the basis of the STALKER series. I've never read this particular book, but I figured anything related to them couldn't possibly turn out that bad. I was horribly wrong, but I don't need to tell you that, because I doubt anyone was actually planning on buying this game to begin with. But I'm going to go over it anyways because I need a therapeutic rant session to recover from playing it. The first thing you'll notice within five seconds of starting the game is that the voice acting is absolutely terrible. Just listen to the opening dialogue of the game, and you'll see what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRYvubs4MQs . Well, actually the first thing you'll notice is that despite originally releasing in 2007 the game only runs in one resolut...

Started off good but went awful towards the end due to game breaking bugs and glitches. The game builds up a story in suspense for a while, then it just ends abruptly with an awful ending that doesn't explain what happened in the game. Don't buy, would not recommend. 3/10 Pros: Nice music Nice graphics for when the game was made The suspense Some of the puzzles Cons: The awful voice acting Bugs/glitches later on in the game The dialogue Slow movement Some objects being almost impossible to find The amount of walking around to advance to the next part of the game The unrealistic physics in one of the puzzles will make you want to pull your hair out The ending

Appallingly awful - spent ages setting things up, then ended abruptly in a ridiculous way that bore no relation to anything that had happened up to that point. Voice acting ranged from average (main character) to laughably bad (hotel manager).

Yes this game has some of the worst voice acting you will ever hear. Yes the movement is clunky. Yes it's often difficult to exit from screen to screen. Yes you will sometimes have music suddenly kick in with no explanation, reason or context. And YES I BLOODY LOVE THIS GAME!!!! So sorry if you think every game should look like Call of Duty, or be as slick as Life Is Strange. Maybe stick to a handful of very limited AAA titles, yeah? Leave the gaming to actual gamers. Dead Mountaineer's Hotel has a great story, often great atmosphere and is just plain weird. What's not to love. Sit yourself down, grab a cuppa and let the story wash over you as you play through some glorious clunkiness.

I played this game on Windows 7 so my experience might be different to some. I actually enjoyed it, in spite of all it's quirks. The scenery and the hotel were beautiful , even though a bit empty, with very little with which to interact . The characters are all very different . They modernly included a gender ambivalent character but then made the female characters absurdly massively bosomed(this latter, I guess, to entertain the stereotypical male player) It's a classic point and click game which is something many people don't take into account. Yes some puzzles were annoying; for example, the pool/snooker game . I, like many others players, could NOT win this (which one has to, the obtain a certain ending)in spite of trying over and over and over...lol However it was possible to play on, to an ending which was ok. I do recommend it if you can get it to play on your computer... Ohh meant to add, there is a VERY helpful notebook, map(very valuable...one gets it from looking a...

There are a few negative moments with this game like, some of the voice acting. But If you do like puzzle solving and classic point a click games, than give this one a try. These classic type of games are few and between. I feel that some people weren't giving this one a better chance. Story line is pretty simply, you are a detective solving a possible murder. Characters in game are some what interesting, but will get boring after awhile talking to them. And the setting in game could have been worked on more. Breakdown - Graphics: 2/5, sound 3/5, fun factor 3/5, difficulty 3/5, controls 4/5.

Dead Mountaineer's Hotel is a point and click adventure made in the same spirit as such classics as Syberia and Still Life . The Steam Overlay works, but unfortunately the game does not support widescreen, and the resulting image will be letterboxed, which is not uncommon for games of this era. The diaglogue and animation are servicable, and if you are a player who enjoys playing detective in a point and click adventure, Dead Mountaineer's Hotel certainly delivers.

This was a very dull game. There was no humor that I could tell. The dialog was dull and boring and very mono toned. It was as basic as you can get with a clicking game that did not have alot to explore. The overall game was really hard to understand what was going on and what the main objective was. There are 4 different endings to this game so that is the one thing i found enjoyable. It was really hard to understand were to go and what to do in the game while playing since the dialogue didn't give much hint to it. The graphics were decent for how old this game looked and played. The music came in at the worst times. The only mini game that was enjoyable with this game was billiards, but that had its downfall due to the computer having mad skills when it needed them. It was a complicated point and click game that wasn't satisfying at all. I kind of wished I didn't buy this one but am glad I finished the game to tell you guys not to buy it, even if you are a fan of this genre.
