Midway Motel
A downloadable game
Description
Midway Motel is a short horror project that I worked on over the course of a few months when I could find the motivation. That being said, it should take about 15 minutes to complete but can vary heavily if the puzzles are tough or simply unclear. It's "complete" as far as you can reach an end but is still missing features I had planned to add as well as polish beyond that.
Bugs
I'm sure there are bugs in the game but I tried to clean up anything I found that was game-breaking. If you do find any specific bugs definitely let me know and I'll do my best to fix them for the future.
Why?
I haven't worked on this project for a while so I figured it made sense to make it available. There is always the possibility more will be added but I'd like to look at that in the future with a fresh perspective on the games story and themes. Hopefully anyone who plays it can find some fun in it

Just loved the game. Can say many things, but those are just words. Wanna know why I loved it?
Download and play the game and you'll know why.
It looked like the VCR scenes did have some snags.
Kudos to all involved.
Only 1 ending.
Enjoyed it! I found both endings by taking a guess at a puzzle and it ending up working out fine. Job well done :)
Very very interesting premise, great atmosphere, good puzzles, all in all a short, great game! Can't help but wonder though, is there a third ending?

Definitely had good elements, the puzzles were different which was great. I like the look of the graphics too. The only issue I had was the mouse sensitivity was slow. I had to do huge arm swoops to turn the character. I had my mouse set at 1400 via Hyper-X software and went to 1600. Didn't help. But great game though!
I like the puzzle-solving in this game. I feel like this game needs some characters.
I had fun playing Midway Motel, I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the unique PSX art style graphics. I did felt paranoid because there was nothing really gonna kill you and yet and gives off this unwanted feeling. The music just adds up to this very unknown territory, puzzles aren’t particularly my preference of any other games in general, but this wasn’t really that too complicated. Though I used 55% of my brain cell XD
I Haven't encountered any glitches during my playthrough.
Overall I really enjoyed the game! I look forward to see more of your work, I appreciate the passion you put into this short project ^^
great short creepy game
Great retro horror game. Found a glitch on the vid right at the vent.
Could you clarify? I did not see any glitches in your video, the white blocking your exit when a tape is not inserted is intended and you were swapping items using the tape swap mechanic but you can simply use the scroll wheel to change what is in your hand (Also, right click to get the name of what you are holding). The tip text for switching items shows up when you pick up the screwdriver. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can make this clearer for the player?
It was pretty fun! How many endings are there in this game?
There are only two at the moment but I had planned another couple that might make it in sooner or later.
i love this game, overall 9/10 just a little too dark
As i was saying overall great experience retro graphics amazing, and the spookiness was at its great level, good work! keep it going man.
love it a lot thank you :)
I'm glad you enjoyed it, that was definitely the goal ^_^
I think your solution was as correct as possible for the pedestal puzzle as I came to the same conclusion while testing- I have since fixed the notes to show the correct conclusion (hopefully). Either way, I was glad to see you seemed to get the "correct" answer quite quick afterward.
NICE RETRO SPOOKY
Thank you for playing the game! I noticed that you immediately tried to put a tape in without removing the first so I added the function to swap them. That was actually something I noticed while testing and honestly should have added earlier. Also, apologies for the last puzzle with the pedestals. I think it was somewhat broken so I rewrote a few of the notes. If you get the itch, there's one more ending based on an additional tape you can find but hopefully I'll add some additional stuff to make it worth your time to come back.
