Let me start with, a older viewer wanted to see the game , in full ... we said ok , and in we jumped ... into a game that became a rabbit hole ... why , well Cateia Games pushed this game in 2010 on BigFish under the name "HOTEL" in English... but since BigFish, is a digital service for potato PCs, it was made on a budget ... aka badly translated, missing VO, missing tips, solutions etc... the same year Cateia Games pushed this game also on CD, but only in Germany as "Hotel - Rätsel um Schloss Bellevue" under the Collectors Edition branch with Desktop Pictures\Solutions\fixed story progression\game patched to 1.01\Voice Acting but only in German\Screen Savers and much much more ...
Both versions, the press at that time , bombed hard ... calling it an Awful Broken Sword clone, with a nonsense story ... a adventure that can be beat in 2 to 3 hours ... ouch
In 2013 they remade it under the Brightstone Mysteries IP ... and called it "Brightstone Mysteries: Paranormal Hotel" and ported it to Smartphones\Tablets\PCs with fixed logic and progression to not SUCK HARD... https://cateia.com/game/brightstone_mysteries/ , and here is the trailer of this Remade Remaster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4--G0CmCEvY
So what is this Frankenstein you see here ... its the BigFish version with the VO of the German Version ... the thing is since the GUI was in English , it missed 2 Icons ... so , game is in English but every time you got a Achievement the game Crashed hard since ... it missed the Logic of the German version that used those , to Unlock Concept art\OST\Desktop Background\etc ...
To not lose sanity , the gameplay here is a snip how the original version looked (In other Words ... this is 50% of the whole game ... lulz) ... here is the German LP https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_ApeoK8hzTqotrtw0jasDZsPxJzRwOQ- ... and here are links for the Remaster\Legacy\Casual versions https://store.steampowered.com/app/288750/Hotel_Collectors_Edition_Brightstone_Mysteries_..
