A horror game where every sound can be your undoing. Blending stealth and story-driven puzzles to tell a story about inherited violence and the ghosts we create
UNITED KINGDOM, January 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Lost Souls Interactive Announces Hotel Espir — A Southern Gothic Horror Game About Sin, Silence, and Survival
Coming Halloween 2026 to PC
Lost Souls Interactive has announced its debut title, Hotel Espir, a single-player horror game where every sound can be your undoing. Set in 1942 Alabama, the game blends stealth mechanics, religious themes, and story-driven puzzles to tell a story about inherited violence and the ghosts we create.
Players step into the shoes of Charles Lemek, a traveling father trying to make it home before his daughter is born. His final stop, Hotel Espir, is a grand hotel with a century of secrets and blood. As the night unfolds, guests disappear and a vengeful ghost hunts by sound alone. To survive, players must move quietly, solve cryptic puzzles, and uncover the truth behind the hotel’s cursed history.
“We wanted to make a horror game where silence is as important as movement,” says William Kiley, Creative Director at Lost Souls Interactive. “Every sound is a risk. Every step could draw something closer.”
