WHAT IS INCLUDED?

A twelve-night campaign with three motel wings, twenty guest types, and escalating space-weather patterns. Between story nights, optional bookings provide money and reveal recurring characters.

Add rooms and utilities in a fixed footprint, forcing layout trade-offs. Permanent upgrades unlock better shutters, batteries, drone tools, and guest services.

CONTROLS & ACCESSIBILITY

Clarity and assists are part of the design.

Point-and-click or controller cursor across a side-view motel. Select room, route power, deploy drone, trigger emergency shutters, and fast-forward.

Forecast accuracy, pause availability, guest patience, and repair speed can be adjusted independently. A relaxed mode removes bankruptcy and allows restarting the current night with the same forecast.
