The Off-Season

The winter caretaker

The Off-Season is a PC game about caring for a seaside hotel during the months when nobody visits, from October to March. The owner’s rule is no guests, no exceptions. When someone arrives off the last bus in the rain with cash but no booking, you decide whether to give them a key and which room to assign.

Guests and rooms

The choice at the desk is the central situation: follow the owner’s rule or let the unexpected visitor stay. You also choose their room. The game’s premise turns on that decision at a hotel that’s supposed to have no guests.
