About the game
Welcome to The Sunset Hotel. Not much has been put into this sleepy, 10-room desert motel until an out-of-town contractor comes along to renovate. Over the course of Julian Foard’s stay, he builds many relationships with the small-town residents, including a romantic one with motel housekeeper Veronica Rodriguez. After Veronica discovers the body of the contractor in one of the rooms, the police suspect her ex-fiancé, an escaped convict, is to blame. However, the housekeeper knows that other guests staying at the motel that weekend could potentially be the killer. Help Veronica bring Julian’s true murderer to justice. Channel your inner detective to investigate the murder at The Sunset Motel. Uncover the potential means and motives of each suspect through clues, puzzles, and physical evidence. Use journal entries, motel security, police reports and more to help guide you through a challenging and immersive experience with tons of twists and turns along the way.
