Haunted Hotel: Room 18 Collector's Edition

Haunted Hotel: Room 18 is the newest game in the Haunted Hotel series to appear on Steam, and at the time of this review there are actually 17+ games in this whole series. Fortunately, only the first few entries sequels, and pretty much every other title in the series only share the 'Haunted Hotel' appellation (not to mention summarizes a general component of each game). The story starts with you and your brother being invited to the Sweet 18 Hotel to attend a family reunion. You are the first guests to arrive, and that's when you find yourself prisoners to creatures of the spectral persuasion. Your journey has you navigate the dangers of the hotel as well as find out why your family was invited in the first place. Story/Plot - As you might guess, the story is serviceable but doesn't provide any surprising twists. It would've been nice to see an interesting twist or two included, but that didn't occur here. I also couldn't help but notice some minor inconsistencies in the game...

Boy, oh boy, what a game! This is good! Really good! I like everything about this game, except the troubling freezing or game-out moments, especially during the Bonus Chapter. The game itself warns the player that the Special Effects might cause the apparent poor performance, so my advice is to uncheck this feature. Although, I kept it on during the Main Game to taste its wonderful jumpscare moments. Without further ado, let me break this game down to you. PROS: - Mystery, suspence and thriller all over; - Tragic stories and spiritism; - Male protagonist (and his brother); - Chilling terrifying music; - Little excelent jumpscares; - The Hint / Skip button is awesome! - Main Game + Bonus Chapter + Secret Room; - Intriguing mini-games and HO scenes; - Useful strategy guide; - 3 sets of Collectibles + Figurines (it reminded me of True Fear: Forsaken Souls!) CONS: - Freezing or game-out moments due to Special Effects feature (it might also be my poor ol' computer); - No journal entries (...

Fun HOG, but crashes pretty often. Breaks on occasion too, but was able to finish it so I would still recommend it.

Excellent hidden object game! Spooky narrative that is interesting, bonus chapter that adds to the story, fast travel map, and casual setting with fast skips for those of us who just want to play for fun. It took me about 9 hours, so decent length for a HOG, too. One of the best new HOGs I've played recently!

Good fun

It's not bad, albeit short. Problem is the bonus part is broken where it has you picking a lock with 3 pins, it just goes unresponsive, not frozen, but you just can't really do anything. It's overall crap. These newer HOGs are starting to be junk.

Some of the puzzles were difficult to figure out even with the instructions. I was able to complete this game in just under three hours. It's a pretty quick pretty standard HOG. Not my favorite.

Very interesting game, really liked the story and the visuals. Give it a go I´d say.

Fantastic graphics and atmosphere. Spent most of the game gawking at every screen. Some technical issues- it seems that trying to interact with the game while it's loading can result in it crashing to desktop. Story was a fun romp with the recurring antagonist being pretty entertaining.

Great game!! The only thing I did not like was the shattered glass. I had no idea what to do and was forced to use all my hints to pass it, as it had no instructions. Also, what does the bonus game do? my game exits every time I press it. Everything else was brilliant! Thank you for creating this .:D
