I'm a one man development team creating a horror game called Hotel Room Haunting built in Unreal Engine 5.
Early access allows you to explore the suite, but stay quiet, don't scream, and the other guests won't claim your soul.

The Itchio page for Hotel Room Haunting is now up! Go follow the game to be notified when it's released!

Horror gamers are a different breed.
You actively seek out self-destruction and the rush that comes with it.
You're part adventurer, part adrenaline junkie.
And I'm here to satiate that need.

A certain cosy game thread left content creators with a bitter taste after saying they wouldn't pay creators to make content for their game.
As a solo indie dev, if I could afford it, I would pay for coverage. Content creators and indie game devs have a symbiotic relationship.
Casting volunteer VA's for the role of Mike / Evie, your intrepid podcaster who will be the protagonist in Hotel Room Haunting's Story Mode.
These are two separate roles with the same script.
Those interested in auditioning, please DM for more details.
It's time to lift the curtain.
Horror game content creators and streamers, this is your time.
Become a Dread Passenger and get early access to ManneKin: Hessler Storage along with opportunities to cover the release and updates!
All aboard.
Renovations are going well in this mini-project.
Hotel Room Haunting will be available on itchio for free with an option to donate.
You can enjoy your stay soon.
Can you survive the night?
If you pause the game you lose, if you scream you lose.
This room wants you to become a permanent guest.
Hotel Room Haunting arrives in alpha version 0.3 on the 25th of October!
Want to see how Hessler Storage looks so far? 👀

Some things inside Hessler Storage will have consequences for tampering with them. You have been warned.
Just letting everyone know I'm still alive, but development has gotten a lot slower on ManneKin: Hessler Storage while I'm looking for a new job and retraining.
My love goes out to the horror community. I'll be back soon.

As promised for 1000 followers, a new mini-horror game project currently codenamed...
HOTEL ROOM HAUNTING
This standalone experience will test your endurance. Can you make it through the night?
I have thirty three scares to prepare in Hotel Room Haunting without variations included.
There's going to be a lot of different stuff happening.
I hope you like random scares.
Here's the great news:
Hotel Room Haunting earned enough revenue to pay for Steam listing!
The good news for players is that everyone who buys the game on Itchio before it launchs on Steam will get a free copy!
More announcements to come!!
One day I want Dread Passage Studios to be a proper game development studio with only ONE METRIC that we measure success against:
That everyone is paid on time and with an amount that lets them live comfortably.
No greed, just games.
STOP 🛑
THIS IS A HORROR GAME CHECKPOINT.
YOU MUST TAG THE LAST HORROR GAME YOU PLAYED TO PASS.
FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN YOU SEEING THAT THING BEHIND YOU.
It's officially spooky month! Horror gamers and creators will hopefully have a chance to play Hotel Room Haunting by Halloween!
Be tortured by the spirits trapped within the walls of this room, can you survive the night?
Available on Itchio soon!
I'm making a game inspired by Visage, Silent Hill, Layers of Fear, Indiana Jones, and Amnesia...
What do you expect when you put all those things together in a first-person perspective in an underground facility filled with mannequins?

v0.3 OUT NOW
🕯️Calling all horror gamers,
#indiegame
horror players, horror streamers, and horror content creators. 🕯️
You have been summoned to Hessler Storage this weekend for the alpha demo update.
Don't be late. They don't like it when you're late.
I'm looking forward to showing you a few more screenshots of Hessler Storage before the trailer goes live.
And coinciding with the trailer will be a Kickstarter launch! Lots of tiers with some cool rewards!
More details soon!
I have replaced all the mannequins with human-sized pandas.
You will learn to fear the PandaKin.
The hugs may be infinitely more fluffy, BUT YOU WILL FEAR THE FLUFFY!
I didn't expect the amount of interest at all! I'll be answering more DMs tomorrow, for now I'm gonna rest.
Thank you all for your interest. There will be more roles to audition for too, so don't be discouraged if you don't get Mike / Evie!
😱 We are 36 followers away from 1k ⏳
If you like first-person horror games about haunted underground facilities with evil mannequins inside, you should follow 👁️
It's getting dark now. You should stay in the light.
Follow us 🕯️
Trying to reply to everyone for the roles in Hotel Room Haunting but there's so damn many of you!
I'll have to close applications tonight.
However, what I will be doing is assessing for other roles based on this audition.
You might get someone else!
Because I don't want to miss getting this out for Halloween, I think I'll release Hotel Room Haunting and once it's got some good scares and then get ongoing updates.
Sound good?
For those who love horror games and a challenge, Hotel Room Haunting is a first-person horror experience that uses your mic.
No screaming, no pausing. Can you survive the night?
Story Mode is also being developed for a Steam release!
Applications are CLOSED. I'm reviewing everyone to see who would suit which character.
Announcements to come down the road. Lots of script left to write.
I can already tell I'm going to enjoy watching you all play ManneKin: Hessler Storage Chapter 1.
• Unease
• Subtle scares
• Jumpscares
• Misdirection
• Hallucinations
• Sound design
• Silence
Just some of the tools I'll be using to ruin you all.
Delays arE necessAry someTimes but tHere is hope.
Is there a chance that we get to releaSe without delay?
Could be, but One thing May help, makIng sure you doN't Give up on us.
TOBIAS NEEDS YOU.
I know this gets mentioned so let's put it to bed.
Yes, the mannequins are retextured default UE mannequins. I'm looking to get a new model made for them, but I'd need to hire someone.
The real magic comes in the fact I can still scare you with the default mannequin.
BOO.
Where have I been?
The last month has been, well, bad. I still have no job and I need money coming in. Something may be on the horizon but the worry is pretty draining.
I am exhausted. ManneKin: Hessler Storage will be delayed. But the delay will result in a much better game.
This community is something else.
• In the last two weeks ManneKin: Hessler Storage has been added to Wishlists over 130 times
• Over 170 applications to be a
#DreadPassenger
• Over 100 in the Discord
• Over 100 new clips on Twitch
You're all amazing.
I'm also reminding everyone to definitely play the alpha demo if you have applied or before you applied to the creator program.
I'm not just looking for content creators, but those that are also excited about the game.
To address extreme levels of new ManneKin: Hessler Storage demo users, we've applied the following temporary limits:
- Victim accounts are limited to 6000 jumpscares/day
- None Victim accounts to 600 jumpscares/day
- People who say they aren't scared will have easy mode disabled
🔥 It's official! 🔥 We're moving from:
Unreal Engine 5.0 > 5.2
Horror Engine 2.0 > 3.0
Some fixes need to be made and things redone to get it back to where it was. But overall the switch was mostly painless. The upgrade is going to be significant for me.
The
#DreadPassenger
's I've picked so far have been from different stages in their creator growth.
I look forward to seeing everyone grow with
@DreadPassage
and ManneKin: Hessler Storage.
Exciting things are ahead.
Very exciting.
I've watched a couple of people play now and I can see where it needs to improve.
I can also say IT ISN'T SCARY ENOUGH! Unsettling, yes, but it's not SCARY ENOUGH!
I MUST RUIN YOU ALL!
With M*sk's announcement that you won't be able to see people you follow unless they're verified, I do have a community on here to connect Horror Developers with Streamers / YouTubers.
Come join. I'm going to make sure to post in there more.
Hotel Room Haunting has been submitted to IGDB so you can pick it as a game on Twitch.
Should be 24-48 hours before it's approved.
I've got lots of admin work to get things setup before HRH can launch on Steam.
I have sent out as many as I can muster my exhausted mind to type.

emails going out tomorrow!
You guys have been amazing so far! And remember, just because you didn't get one tonight, doesn't mean you're not going to get one!
We grow together!
Starting to think I've dropped out of the algorithm for horror games.
Drop a like on here if you've seen this tweet.
Or else mannequins are coming to your house tonight.
This place is... I can't begin to describe it. It's like every nightmare I've had for the last twenty years.
Blood dripping down the walls, the silence, and that sigil. It's all burned into my mind, like someone took a branding iron to my memory.
And now I'm reliving it.
A Ko-fi account 👀
Hotel Room Haunting launches on the 25th of October 👻
Another picture of your glorious suite at the hotel 🗝️
Just another day at the [INSERT HOTEL NAME]
I really can't state how thankful I am to those who have bought Hotel Room Haunting.
It fills me with joy and motivates me to create more experiences for you all to have.
Horror is my home. I can't wait to bring you more.
For now, I'm working on Story Mode for HRH!
Ya ever notice how horror streamers are REALLY HYPE to enthusiastically share horror game recommendations? 😂 It's honestly amazing, keep doing it forever. 💜
#horrorfam
Got something cooking while I've been away. Speaking to people and getting things done behind the scenes.
We could be entering a new phase for ManneKin: Hessler Storage.
I can't wait to spread more fear.
How dare a game be so immersive it asks you your character's pronouns...
Whats next? Asking what your character's name is?
The scandal.
🙄
BTW the mannequins in Hessler Storage are they / them.
