Welcome to Bear Haven Motel! Take on a new part-time job as an electrician and prepare for a unique challenge. The motel is currently... er, lacking guests, but that’s no reason to worry. We’re more concerned about the mysterious electrical issues that occur at night. Your job is to fix them, but beware, everything must be in perfect working order by 6:00 AM, or you’re fired! Oh, and one more thing. Our "guests" prefer their privacy. Just try to stay out of their way. Bear Haven is an immersive indie horror game that offers a thrilling survival experience. Unlike traditional horror games, you’re not limited to watching cameras; instead, you can explore the environment, interact with objects, and solve problems in real time.
