Softonic review

Slow-burning horror game set in an eerie hotel

Hotel 188 is a premium first-person simulation game rooted in psychological horror, escape room challenges, and slow-paced exploration. You awaken in a strange, unfamiliar place where reality feels slightly off. Rather than using overt scares, the game builds tension through atmosphere, subtle design choices, and puzzles hidden in plain sight.

A disturbing hotel stay

In Hotel 188, you find yourself inside a quiet hotel that feels both ordinary and unsettling. Time seems to stand still, and although the rooms appear familiar, each return reveals something slightly altered. Rather than giving clear direction, the game builds tension through silence, repetition, and a creeping sense of unease.

As you delve deeper, subtle clues and hidden object puzzles emerge, seamlessly blending into the environment. Observation and patience are key, especially as backtracking reveals missed details. Though the eerie atmosphere builds long-term intrigue, the slow pacing and lack of clear guidance might frustrate some players.

A mind-bending escape room game

Hotel 188 offers a quiet yet gripping take on the psychological horror genre. It’s best suited for players who enjoy slow exploration and nonlinear puzzles that require patience and attention to detail. While it might not appeal to those looking for straightforward gameplay, it creates a deeply immersive experience for those willing to sit with discomfort.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
