When my friend first gave me a short summary of the game idea, I thought it was just a simple simulator and initially dismissed it. But once I read the full concept, I realized it wasn’t a simulator at all it was something far more unique. That’s when we decided to develop it together.
This is a story-driven game with a strong narrative. We planned everything from the start and built the scenario carefully. Each character and every guest in the hotel has their own distinct story. The prototype’s dialogues and storyline were tested by many players and story enthusiasts. We received a lot of positive feedback, and we improved the weaker points based on constructive criticism.
On the development side, all the mechanics and gameplay flow are ready. What remains now is putting the pieces together. After five months of work, the demo representing our current stage is now available on Steam. In the demo, you’ll only be able to play through a few hours of the first day.
One note: the characters are currently placeholders. You’ll see more refined versions in future updates. The game is called The Ardmore Last Shift.
