Ring the bell to call her
Suite 776 is a horror adventure video game, wherein you must solve the mystery of a strange apartment. Developed by Stanislaw Truchowski, this well-done indie game is fairly reminiscent of the Silent Hill P.T. demo. However, it still has a unique atmosphere that makes it highly replayable. Here, the jumpscares aren’t cheap, and your cautious exploration throughout the supposedly-abandoned suite will be filled with unsettling sights and sounds.
Is Suite 776 real?
In Suite 776, you play as someone who wishes to prove the existence of the alleged apartment. The legend of this location centers around the tragic end of a famous architect named Marcy, who had apparently hung herself in the suite—the masterpiece she crafted—and left her young son all alone in the world. With a trusty camera and notebook in hand, you venture into the place to start reaching out to her.
This psychological horror game plays out just like P.T., wherein you have to constantly traverse one indoor location to trigger the story’s progression. Unlike the former’s looping map, however, you have to go back and forth in the suite’s strange winding layout. Most of the doors are locked, and the only way to keep going forward is to ring the bell at the end of the spiral path.
There are three endings available, most of them depending on how many collectibles you unlocked. You must collect several photos of Marcy in motion, three gold bars, six photographs, and one optional easter egg. The game is highly immersive with its sound design and creepy with how every jumpscare setup is just something natural in the environment. The horror aspect is never up in your face. However, take note that there’s no save functionality.
Find the truth
Overall, Suite 776 is a real contender against other similar-looking games. While it’s only meant to be played in one sitting due to the lack of saves, the game can be finished around an hour or so. More, its numerous achievements and collectibles make for repeated playthroughs. With an immersive scary atmosphere, this is a highly-recommended game for horror fans.
