Coming Soon To Early Access

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe that community feedback is essential for shaping Midnight Motel into the best possible game. Early Access allows us to involve players in the development process early on, gather crucial suggestions, balance gameplay mechanics, and fix bugs to deliver a well-rounded and engaging final experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep the game in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months. However, this timeline may shift depending on player feedback, necessary feature additions, and the overall scope of community requests during development.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to include additional gameplay mechanics, more motel management features, new story events, expanded dialogue choices, and more variety in rogue guests and fugitive encounters. We also plan to improve overall visual polish, audio design, and bug fixes based on community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current Early Access version features a fully playable core gameplay loop. Players can manage the daily operations of the motel, handle reception and cleaning, use the in-game computer system, and encounter fugitive events with functional combat and choice mechanics.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to slightly increase the price of the game as we add major content updates, new features, and expand the scope towards the full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to actively communicate with players through Steam Community Hub forums and our Discord channel. We will closely monitor feedback, bug reports, and player suggestions to guide our upcoming updates and balance decisions.”

About This Game

MANAGE THE MOTEL

Welcome to your new job. Check in guests, handle their requests, and manage your daily responsibilities using the reception computer. Every shift is another chance to earn the money you desperately need. Just remember, not every guest is as ordinary as they seem.

TRY TO SURVIVE

As the days pass, your shifts become increasingly dangerous. Uninvited visitors, unpredictable threats, and mysterious entities will put your survival skills to the test. Learn their behaviors, uncover their weaknesses, and figure out how to survive each encounter. Keep your guard up. You never know what might be waiting outside your door.

DISCOVER THE STORY

There's more to this motel than meets the eye. Piece together a hidden story through conversations with guests, strange encounters, and news reports on your computer. Every discovery brings you closer to the truth, but some secrets might be better left buried. Your choices and actions will shape how your story ends.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

This game contains mild violence, gunplay, and comedic horror elements. Players use firearms to shoot and defeat bad mans while managing a motel at night. The violence is not overly graphic, excessively gory, or realistic, maintaining a somewhat comedic tone. However, due to tahe presence of guns, shooting mechanics, and mild horror themes, the game is not suitable for young children. There is no sexual content, non-consensual sex, drug abuse, or self-harm depicted in the game.
