I don’t know about you, but when I’m booking a hotel, I want to be certain there’s no chance a snake will slither up my bedsheets. But for some reason, I’m a little suspicious of No-Snake Hotel<\/a>‘s snake-free guarantee.<\/p>\n

Created by Gavin “Two Star Games” Eisenbeisz, No-Snake Hotel is a tiny, free horror game developed in only 24 hours. The entire development process is captured in a handy YouTube video, where Eisenbeisz explains that he wanted to make a custom horror game for his friend based on his worst fear: snakes.<\/p>\n

In those few minutes it expertly builds tension through lighting and set-dressing, leaving mandatory horror game notes around and even managing a brief fakeout. You know<\/em> what’s coming, but that doesn’t make the final reveal any less shocking.<\/p>\n

It’s a good sign for Eisenbeisz’s upcoming full-fledged horror game, Choo Choo Charles<\/a>, which he announced to viral reception last year.
