Steam Store description

You're an employee on a late night shift at The Motel, an old, quiet roadside stop just before the big city in Oakhill Grove. Your job is simple enough: keep things in order and handle what needs doing until morning. At first, the night seems like any other, but a news broadcast crackling through the radio changes everything. There's someone dangerous roaming the outskirts of Oakhill Grove. Will you make it through the night shift, or will The Motel become your final stop? In The Motel, your night begins with a list of tasks left by the boss on a note. You’ll complete these tasks one by one. Serving guests, tidying up, and occasionally taking a moment to pet the motel’s lobby cat. But as the night progresses, you’ll need to stay sharp. The game features multiple endings, leaving your fate in your hands. Will you outlast the night, or become another victim. This game is a 40-60 min light-horror, ambient, funny experience.
