About This Game

Murder Castle is a short, atmospheric first-person escape room game featuring a wide variety of puzzles and horror elements. Experience Elizabeth's story as you try to escape the cruel schemes of H. H. Holmes.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD'S FAIR HOTEL

Chicago, 1893. The World's Columbian Exposition is in full swing, a dazzling beacon of human progress. Just blocks away stands a magnificent new hotel, promising luxury and convenience to young travelers. You are one of them. Experience the story of Elizabeth, a young secretary hoping to start a new life in the big city. But the man who welcomed you, Dr. H.H. Holmes is not a hotelier, he is a madman. And his building is not a sanctuary, it is a machine designed to kill for profit.

"I was born with the devil in me. I could not help the fact that I was a murderer, no more than the poet can help the inspiration to sing..." — H. H. Holmes

Wake up to your worst nightmare. Behind soundproof walls and doors that lead to nowhere, the dark story about America’s first serial killer awaits you.
