"You checked in. You don't get to check out."The Aurelian Hotel doesn't appear on any map, and no one who wanders in by accident ever finds their way back to the road. Every night, a new floor waits — and every floor is a memory: the last night of a guest who died there, replayed in exact, gruesome detail. Solve how they died before sunrise, or die exactly the way they did.Kaelan didn't choose to check in. The Hotel doesn't care. Each floor he survives leaves him a little stronger — a stolen skill, a borrowed scar, a fragment of someone else's death sewn into his own. Power like that isn't free. With every floor cleared, he feels less like a guest, and more like part of the building itself.Somewhere above him is the top floor. Somewhere below is whatever's left of the guests who didn't make it. And the receptionist at the front desk already knows what he's turning into — she's just not telling him yet.
