-256 is a surreal first person mystery where a cursed video game transports you into the body of a service robot at a bizarre hotel.
In -256 your friend has sent you a game to check out. It’s rumored to be cursed, and it appears that the rumors are true, because it’s not long until your consciousness is sucked into the computer. You appear to have been transported into the body of a service robot at a strange futuristic hotel and you’ve also lost your memory. You’d better go and perform your hotel duties and hopefully you’ll find some answers along the way.
Taking around 45 minutes to play through, -256 is a fantastic little game that infuses humor with surreal oddity and a little horror. The hotel is packed full of great little details and odd characters, and it feels a lot like you’re wandering through a strange corporate afterlife (especially as all the staff have halos). It makes for a very unique hotel adventure that you won’t regret checking-in to.
