Homunculus Hotel

I am not sure how I feel about this game, the first playthrough I did not enjoy it, then I played it again, took my time, I read the dialogue slower, and my opinion of it has improved, but not as much as I hoped. Part of the problem is how short it is, only about 30 to 40 minutes long with multiple characters that only have a few minutes of the spotlight. All things considered, I think the game has an interesting concept and some thought-provoking themes, but I needed more time with the main characters, and honestly I think more context for either of them would work. I assume the dialogue options don't have any effect on the ending, I was not able to find anything new after multiple runs, aside from just changing the order in which you meet the people. On a more subjective note (please don't kill me for saying it devs), the genre changes in the soundtrack were a bit too much for me, I kinda liked those melancholy vibes you had going with the music at Claire's apartment, I kinda wish yo...

Queer games that made me sad

A bittersweet, melancholic game of endings, with great music and wonderful hand-drawn art

touching. sometimes feels sameish in its messages and doesn't use its pieces to build towards anything but for some slice of life bittersweet feels it's perfect.

such a great game with a amazing story

Great side quests in life are hard to find. This game was a slice of insight from great minds. Thoughtful and well worth it for a complete Human experience.

Carefully crafted by Italian indie studio Team SolEtude, Homunculus Hotel is a bittersweet experience through memories and meaning. Writing, art and music perfectly combine in this short but deep novel, where each rooms narrates the story of a different guest and helps Isabelle, the main character, explore her own feelings. The gameplay is around 2 hours, which I felt was the perfect length for this story.
