Hotel Tales is a story-driven simulation and adult visual novel developed by TopHouse Studio. Players take the role of a new employee working at a mysterious hotel located between different worlds. The building accommodates unusual guests, including supernatural beings and travelers with personal secrets. Daily responsibilities involve checking in visitors, completing service requests, and interacting with coworkers. As the story progresses, players discover information about the hotel and its residents. Dialogue choices influence relationships and can lead to different narrative outcomes.

Working at the Mysterious Hotel

The protagonist begins with regular hospitality duties, including assigning rooms, organizing luggage, and assisting guests. Each working day introduces new visitors and situations requiring attention. Characters such as Nikki, Pasithea, and Laveau have individual storylines that develop through conversations. Players can spend free time with coworkers, investigate unusual events, and discover information connected to the hotel’s mysteries. Some encounters involve romantic relationships, supernatural incidents, and conflicts between characters.

Controls and Hotel Activities

Gameplay uses point-and-click controls. Players select dialogue options, interact with objects, and complete tasks through different mini-games. Certain activities require dragging items, matching objects, or responding within a time limit.

The main gameplay features include:

•         Checking guests into rooms and assigning keys.
•         Sorting luggage and delivering requested items.
•         Preparing cocktails and serving food.
•         Completing spa treatments and cleaning tasks.
•         Collecting Key Phrases during conversations.
•         Developing relationships through dialogue choices.

Key Phrases provide additional conversation options and can influence how certain situations develop. Players must also manage their available time because some interactions occur only during specific periods.

Story Progression and Multiple Endings

Hotel Tales progresses through consecutive working days rather than traditional numbered levels. Each day introduces new tasks, character interactions, and story events. Evening activities provide opportunities to explore relationships, while nighttime encounters can reveal additional secrets. Players can unlock different romantic paths and endings depending on their decisions. The game includes Easy, Normal, and Hard difficulty settings for mini-games, along with Story Mode, which allows players to skip these challenges and concentrate on the narrative.
