"Jay Smith," the protagonist, left his own hotel a decade ago. One day, he receives a blank letter from his hotel and decides to visit it once again. So much had changed since he was gone, and no trace of the past could be found in the new hotel. And he is shocked to learn that the hotel he used to run in the past, never even existed in the first place. While exploring the hotel, obviously shocked, Jay gets to know the hotelier "Libera" who seems to know something about the hotel. Can the two people with their own share of secrets help each other and discover the mystery within the hotel?(Storyline via IGDB)
