Jack and Story Jane

Once, the circus was their whole world.

Jack was a performer — daring, passionate, and endlessly devoted to his daughter, Story Jane. She was small, bright-eyed, and fearless. Their act was the star of the show… until the night the trick went wrong.

Jane fell.

Her injuries were grave. Her heart, too damaged to recover. Desperate, Jack searched for help and was told of a doctor at a forgotten hotel in Redlands — one who claimed to save the unsavable. They checked in to The Alley Hotel under the promise of a miracle.

But what Jack found wasn’t healing — it was horror. The so-called treatments were experiments. Promises turned into procedures. Jane faded, and her body… was harvested. Bit by bit.

 

The doctor said he just needed more time.

Jack gave him none.

What followed was grief. Then madness. And now, something worse.

The Alley Hotel still stands. But in this version of the story, you don’t walk its halls as a guest. You crawl through the fractured mind of a father who couldn’t save what he loved — and couldn’t let it go.

The rooms twist. The logic breaks. The hotel warps around Jack’s rage.

And you?

You’re just passing through…


...if it lets you pass at all.

The Hotel Awaits

From forgotten bathrooms

to long-sealed parlors

The hotel’s many rooms unfold in a twisted tour of the past.

Some spaces feel trapped in time.

Others feel like they never stopped watching.

Don’t expect a simple walkthrough.

Some doors open for you. Others open… because they’ve been waiting.

The hotel isn’t just part of the story — it remembers.

A Whisper from the Tour

They come with questions.

Flashlights. Curiosity in their eyes.

Some even smile at the wallpaper.


But the hotel doesn’t remember their names… only how they made it feel.”

 

“They check in for the story.
But it’s the silence they leave behind

that lingers.”

“You think you’re here to uncover the past…
but some things are only revealed when you’re part of it.”

Why Play Both Rooms?

Every room holds two truths.

This tour gives you a guided

glimpse into the past.

But Jack’s version?


It drags you through the mind of someone who couldn’t let go.

Play both. See what’s real — and what’s madness.

 


Only then will you understand what really happened at The Alley Hotel.

Overview

“This is no tour. This is inside the mind of the man who never got justice.”

You’ve already walked the halls once.
But this time… they don’t want you here.

Step into the fractured perspective of Jack — a father destroyed by loss, abandoned by reason, and obsessed with rewriting the past.

The rooms haven’t changed. But everything inside them has.

This isn’t a guided tour.
This is a descent into obsession.

The Hotel Awaits

The logic is broken.
The clues are strange.
The walls feel closer.

Nothing is explained.

 

You’ll be left to interpret — or misinterpret — everything.

Every puzzle was twisted by Jack’s grief.


Every space rewired with madness.

You may recognize the rooms…
But you’ve never seen them like this.

A Whisper from the Tour

If you played the Tour version, you think you know the layout.

But here, familiar spaces become traps.

The clues you once trusted are now misleading.


The voices guiding you? Gone.


Only your instincts — and a single walkie-talkie — remain.

What to Expect?

New set of puzzles

New challenges

 No guided narration —

just cryptic fragments

Same hotel, reimagined

through grief and chaos

 More intense, psychological, and unpredictable

 Walkie-talkie support available —

but limited​​​​​​
