Room Service – A Psychological Horror Experience

Release Date: First Half of 2025

Platform: Steam & Itch.io

Hello, my name is Fynn (also known as Zictorix online), and I’m an indie game developer from Germany. I’ve been working on Unity prototypes for years, and now, for the first time, I’m creating a full-fledged game: Room Service. This is my first completed horror game, developed entirely by me, except for the 3D assets and sounds.

About the Game:

Step into the shoes of Jacob White, a man desperately seeking employment who starts working at an old motel. His tasks seem simple: clean and tidy up. But as each day passes, the facade of normality begins to crumble. On top of everything, Jacob is haunted by the recent loss of his wife, which makes his journey even darker.

The story unfolds from Jacob’s perspective, with strange and disturbing events creeping into his life. You'll discover hidden newspaper articles, conversations, and other eerie details that slowly reveal the truth.

Features:

  • Atmospheric Horror: Feel the tension rise as unsettling sounds and a dark, oppressive atmosphere set the stage.
  • Psychological Suspense: The game mixes subtle discomfort with sudden shocks, keeping you on edge.
  • No Monsters, Just Fear: Instead of traditional monsters, the threat is psychological, building an ever-present sense of dread.

For Fans of Indie Horror:

If you enjoy games like Fears to Fathom or titles by Chilla’s Art, you’ll find Room Service to be an unforgettable experience.
