Let me start by saying that this is not the kind of puzzle game that you can just click and pass. The whole story is set in the mysterious Masked Hotel. Each of the nine strange tenants has their own secrets, and you have to find out the truth and escape within seven days. It's a bit scary to think about, but also makes people want to stop.
Many friends asked me how to deal with stuck levels. Here are some more practical strategy ideas for you, hoping to help players who are currently playing or preparing to get into the trap.
First, don't rush in gathering clues. The photos, diaries, and notes in every room may be key clues to solving the case. Especially the diary, which seems to be trivial, but actually contains a lot of foreshadowing. It is recommended to check out more suspicious places in the early stage and get all the props you can get.
Second, pay attention to the details of the conversation with the tenant. Don't believe everything everyone says, after all, they all lie. You will find that what some people say is contradictory to what they write in their diaries. At this time, you need to be more careful and try to use different tones and techniques to express new information. Sometimes, you can pry out new information.
Third, time management is important. Since it is a seven-day limited time, the exploration opportunities are limited every day. It is recommended to complete the main mission that seems to be the most urgent first, rather than getting hung up on a small puzzle. I was stuck in the bathroom for a long time at first, but later I found out that I had actually missed a detail item in the room.
Fourth, you must learn to use the props in your backpack in combination. Don't underestimate those seemingly useless items, such as an old keychain or half a fragment of a photo. Some props need to be taken to specific scenes to trigger the plot. Remember to look through your backpack often and give it a try when you have ideas.
In fact, the most fascinating part of this game is not only the process of solving the puzzles, but also the human torture behind it. Everyone is performing, everyone is wearing a mask, and you are moving step by step towards the final judgment. This emotional atmosphere is quite suitable for the tone of our emotional literature section.
Finally, a reminder, when playing, calm down and pay more attention to the ambient sound effects and background details in the room. Some hidden clues are hidden in very subtle places.
Overall, this is a work worth savoring slowly. The plot control and atmosphere creation are both above the standard. If you like immersive puzzle solving and are not afraid of a bit of a scary atmosphere, it is recommended to turn off the lights and wear headphones at night to enjoy the full experience 🎭
Okay, I'll share the strategy ideas here for now. If you have any issues, please leave a message downstairs and we will work out a solution together. After all, the door of the Mask Hotel not only welcomes you in, but also wants you to stay. I hope everyone can pass the customs smoothly and don't become one of them~🧩
