The story
A woman, summoned by an eccentric man to participate in a project in an old hotel somewhere in central Europe, becomes embroiled in a game of illusions, increasingly dangerous and surreal. Now you are invited to fall into the same rabbit hole, in a non-linear mystery with an immense amount of handcrafted puzzles, constantly presenting you with new riddles to solve, each leading you closer to deciphering the enigma of Lorelei and the Laser Eyes.
What it’s like
Crisp, graphic visuals in saturated, flatly lit colour, with stylised hotel corridors, mid-century furniture and angular retro-tech devices that feel like a half-remembered 1970s future. Rooms are often still and framed like stage sets, and the soundtrack is a sparse, slightly off-kilter score of soft tones and muted electronic textures that leaves plenty of silence for thinking. The vibe is cerebral and quietly uneasy, playful one moment and unsettling the next, with a dreamlike logic that keeps you guessing. It suits an evening alone with a notebook nearby, a slow weekend with headphones on, or a stretch of focused problem-solving when you want the mind engaged more than the reflexes. Pacing is unhurried and driven by discovery: each solved riddle opens a new thread, and the tension builds through curiosity rather than speed. Intensity is low: the peril is psychological and surreal, with no gore and only mild threat, so it reads as eerie rather than frightening. It is for puzzle lovers who enjoy patient, interlocking mysteries, curious players who like being pulled through a strange world one clue at a time, and anyone drawn to dreamy, stylish puzzles.
