About the game
Adventure Games: The Grand Hotel Abaddon is a cooperative narrative game where you and your friends investigate the mysteries of an old, eerie hotel. Unlike escape rooms, there's no time pressure—just exploration, talking to characters, and combining clues to unravel the plot. Every decision changes the story's course, and there's no turning back! Split into three chapters (about 75 minutes each), the game offers multiple endings, but beware: once you've uncovered the secrets, replayability is limited. The good news? Nothing gets destroyed, so you can lend it out or revisit the adventure later. Perfect for mystery lovers who aren’t afraid to deduce what’s behind that creaky door...
