Rose Lane Games, a new developer and publisher of indie horror games, announced that its inaugural chapter-based indie horror, Helios Hotel: The Night Shift, will be launching on February 14, 2025 on PC across Steam with a 15% for the first week of launch.

Helios Hotel: The Night Shift is a first-person, choose-your-own-adventure style horror game inspired by paranormal and slasher films such as The Shining, Halloween and Friday the 13th that is broken down into bite-sized chapters. The main protagonist, Rose, has just moved to a small town ready to start a brand-new life and quickly lands a job as the fancy new hotel’s front desk receptionist.

You take on the role of Rose and initially undertake the everyday tasks of the hotel, such as booking in guests and ensuring they get everything they need. As today is Rose’s first day, she’s naturally keen to make a good impression with her boss; but what begins as a quick introduction soon evolves into a number of strange occurrences and a distinct feeling that something isn’t quite right…
