REA Reaction
Harbor Hotel was an adrenaline-driven game with a polished, immersive set and a compelling, sinister storyline. The experience was well paced with a strong introduction and smooth puzzle flow, intermixed with well-timed actor interactions that ultimately brought the story to a satisfying conclusion.
Gameplay featured several enjoyable puzzles, including one unexpected larger-scale interaction, along with a moment that my team found particularly hilarious. These balanced out a couple of game elements that became tedious and clunky.

Harbor Hotel was a physical game that required a lot of movement throughout the space, including a fair amount of crawling. I found the repeated crawling difficult as the game went on, and I would have greatly appreciated having a bypass option.
I would describe Harbor Hotel as an approachable horror game. There were definitely moments that made us jump, and the overall vibe was eerie and suspenseful, but the horror elements weren't overbearing and they greatly added to the story. Players who strongly dislike horror of any kind may feel differently.
Overall, Harbor Hotel was a great game and it's definitely one to add to your list if you're a fan of spooky mystery stories.
