About This Game

Hotel Espir is a single-player, narrative-driven, stealth-based, horror game. Make your way through the hotel, uncovering clues, discovering secrets, and hiding from Damien, the dark presence who hunts you through sound alone. Choose silence or choose death.

In Hotel Espir, you play as Charles Lemek, who is returning from a business conference, in time to see his daughter born. On the way, he stops at Hotel Espir, a renowned old hotel built on the grounds of a former plantation in Alabama. These grounds hold a sinister secret, manifesting in the rise of a vengeful killer from 100 years ago. You must use your wits and sense of hearing to sneak your way out of Hotel Espir before you are caught by the horror stalking those halls. Escape the cursed Hotel Espir in this 1940s horror experience.

Can you survive being hunted down by the sins of the past, or will misery repeat itself once again? You are not the only being roaming the halls of the isolated hotel.

Use both careful planning and investigative skills to navigate the halls of Hotel Espir, discovering secrets along the way to use to your advantage to make it out alive.

Are the floors and walls changing shape? Or have you just been in this hotel for far too long. You need to expertly manoeuvre through the floors of this hotel fraught with danger.

Why is the floorboard down the hall creaking, is it just the old hotel or is something more sinister lying in wait? You must have a keen sense of hearing in order to make it out alive.

Nothing happens without a reason behind it. As you explore the abandoned rooms of the hotel, unearth the story behind why all of this is happening to you. Maybe you can find a way to retain your sanity after all.

All good things in life are earned, even your freedom. Can you use all of your survival skills to make it out alive? Or will whatever lurks in these uninhibited halls claim you as the next in a long line of victims.

Thank you for choosing Hotel Espir, where southern hospitality meets timeless tradition. Established in 1900 on the grounds of the old Walker Plantation, our hotel is proud to carry forward our local heritage. Visitors often comment on the stillness of the air, the vintage charm of the rooms, and the way the moonlight never quite reaches the far end of the courtyard.

Locals say the land remembers what happened here. We have seen the flicker of lanterns in the fields after midnight. We have heard the footsteps pacing the old servant quarters long since buried beneath the parking lot. But do not let the stories frighten you. Here at Hotel Espir, every guest is part of our history.

Every sound can save you or doom you. Move slowly through creaking corridors where even your breathing can draw attention. You’ll rely on stealth, timing, and the hotel’s architecture to stay alive long enough to piece together what happened on these grounds.

Hotel Espir is a study in silence, memory, and guilt, told through a space that won’t let the past rest. Each floor, hall, and room tells a story. Charles may not be ready to confront its history, or his own, to make it through the night. But he must, you must, do everything possible to survive.
