The Lotus Holidays

The Lotus Holidays

is an experimental adventure game by Sad Mask Party, featuring an intricate, interactive story that can unfold in many unexpected ways.

It is quite weird, trippy and stylized, sometimes even bordering on surreal. But ultimately, it is a deeply personal tale, even if sneaky about it. It aspires to be an experience that is equally immersive and subversive.

The Gameplay

The gameplay is based on exploration, decision making and storytelling, with interactive dialogue and some light puzzle elements. It can also turn into a first person shooter, or even a dating simulator, but only if you want it to.

The Story

Deeply in need of a holiday, you enter and win an online contest for a free weekend at the "Lotus", a new, luxurious spa resort by the countryside. But shortly after you arrive at the place, you essentially find yourself trapped there under increasingly dubious circumstances.

You're told that you have been infected with a rare type of virus, meaning you'll have to go through a 5-day period of 'treatment'. But the events unfolding will soon make you wonder if any of the above is true, or if you're actually trapped in a far more sinister situation.

Will you cooperate peacefully or will you try to find a way out? It's on you.

Features:
