Pierre Hotel is another great game from the stable of Carmel Games. The folks there have been kind enough to give me permission to use their content in my walkthrough.
The approach with most games made by “Carmel Games” is to visit a few locations, collecting & using various items that lead to the final outcome. Each item collected is generally used either in another location or at a later time. This game represents a bit of a departure from Carmel Games’ normal play mode because there is no map, everything takes place in one primary location, albeit one which has multiple scenes within it, viz:
- bar
- car
- chimney
- fireplace and lift foyer
- games room
- hidden room
- janitor’s closet
- kitchen
- reception
- room #1 (your room)
- swimming pool
The video walkthrough (above) shows the quickest way to complete this adventure. The richest playing experience comes from stumbling through, getting stuck and talking more to the characters. That’s not the fastest way, but is definitely the most fun 🙂 It’s also the only way to build a picture of what is needed and where.
At the end of the video I list the items needed throughout the game, where to use them and where to get them.
