I see someone else figured it out. It took me a little while to realize the connection. I am surprised the story was not cited in the credits.
I have played another game based on this story, as well. I must say, this one was a bit more cliche and romanticized, as well as much shorter.
The game was interesting, but it just didn't have enough of the surprise-ending factor. Truth be told, anyone who knows anything about mythology, even in passing, could take a wild guess and figure out the antagonist.
In addition, the bonus chapter bordered on ridiculous with its happily-ever-after style, given the dark tone of the original story.
That being said, I loved the alternate ending. I know it probably upset some people, but it made perfect sense, given the storyline.
I am totally upset. I'm attempting to play Nevertales: The Beauty Within, which I purchased. I am blocked because you have made it mandatory that I download a trial version of Haunted Hotel: Death Sentence before I can even play the game I wanted. I had already purchased that game as well. Now I'm forced to download the game again! Please consider removing such apps as that. Even when I press the X to get out of it, it doesn't work!
Ordinarily, Elephant Games is one of my favorite developers, but "Haunted Hotel: Death Sentence" is just not up to EG's usual fine standards. My biggest complaint is the lack of sensitivity across all parts of the game. Whether using the map to transport or trying to select items in a HOG or scene, it is the rule, rather than the exception, to have to tap multiple times. Several times I've even had to close & reopen the game to be able to pick up an item. With this extremely frustrating glitch, it's not at all worth paying full price.
Challenging yet you can move forward without many hints. Entertaining!
This is just like Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None (a.k.a Ten Little Indians)! Read that book, it's her best mystery thriller!!! Game so far is good, love the storyline, graphics nice, hidden objects fine, mini puzzles not hard, so far. Will wait for it to go on sale again, as many others complained of game's brevity.
Deleted last downloaded Haunted Hotel because it just seemed so monotonous. Liked this new one very much-loved the plot. Imagined ghosts, real villains-like the human aspect of it. A bit tired of spirits and creatures. Wonderful artwork as always, Elephant! Your artists are second to none. Thanks for having the storyline up to the same level this time. Collectibles, good HOS, but I thought a few of the games were too difficult. Best part was the low price. Excellent game play for the cost. Thank you!
The Haunted Hotel games are a sublime combination of pathos and creepiness. The pathos keeps you emotionally involved with the characters, and the mysterious atmosphere and slowly revealed plot keep you searching. I am looking forward to the next game!
This is really a cool and scary game to play, I just love the suspicious way to solve the crimes and found out who done it........gotta go, must find out who is behind this 😉.
This one wasn't a long game but it was well worth the price.
The story was well put together, the soundtrack was creepy good, the achievements were actually not impossible to get.
I don't write many reviews but I think this game deserves a shot. Get it while it is on sale and you won't be so disappointed with it's length.
Would love to see more games like this! Good balance between hidden object and puzzles. Also the map and hint system were very helpful! Keep up the good work Big Fish!
