Can't Kill You, Still Need You
 Haunted Hotel (Video Game) / int_1206d299
comment
Can't Kill You, Still Need You: The only reason Matt isn't murdered at the same moment as his father is because the Sons of Dusk believe he knows the location of the Necronix, since the Sons of Dawn traditionally entrusted that knowledge to their youngest member. What the kidnappers don't know is that until all this happened, neither Matt nor his father had ever been told anything about the book, the Sons of Dawn, or what really became of the other Barlows.

Cool Old Guy: The strange old man in the hotel is the only one capable of interacting with Dave's ghost; Dave is wary about trusting him, but feels like he has no choice. It turns out that this is his grandfather, Christopher Barlow, and he's going to save his grandson and great-grandson no matter what the cost.

Title Drop: Most installments make a mention somewhere of the phrase "haunted hotel," since that's where they all take place. The subtitles of roughly half the games are also dropped. For example, Eternity and Silent Waters are the names of the hotels where their games are set.

comment
Cruel and Unusual Death: Each of the Asshole Victims whom the Big Bad targeted was killed by one of these, often overlapping with Karmic Death. Isaac Rotenburg drank alcohol tainted with potassium cyanide. Tony Norton suffocated while trapped in a car supposedly owned by Esrael. Gordon Marshall was shot in the head with a bullet from his gun. Veronica Redmond drowned in a bathtub. Casey O'Connor was frightened to death, taking advantage of his superstitious nature.

He felt like he had no choice but to do this to his youngest son, Jerome, because the boy kept trying to kill others. In the present day, Jerome's ghost is back for vengeance, and doesn't realize that his father has been dead for a long time.

Frame-Up
 Haunted Hotel (Video Game) / int_2d363f63
comment
Frame-Up: The murderer takes advantage of the player character's presence by framing him for the murders. And since the killer is a cop, it's easy for him to place the protagonist under arrest for them. The murderer is eventually revealed to have been the victim of this trope himself. The pianist, Richard, sexually assaulted the killer's girlfriend Sarah, and when she tried to bring charges, he somehow managed to pin the crime on the her boyfriend, who went to prison for it. By the time he got out, Sarah had been killed.

Misplaced Retribution: The concierge blames Caroline for the fire that killed everyone in the hotel. This is despite the fact that Caroline was just as much a victim as she was, and it was Leonard who set the fire that killed them - all because he wouldn't accept the fact that Caroline wasn't interested in him. Leonard's ghost drags John and James into the situation, planning to get revenge on Samuel's entire family for the supposed betrayal, even though John and James hadn't even been born at the time of Leonard's ill-fated love for Caroline.

Downer Ending: The games end as happily as they can, but some installments can be regarded this way because of the fate which befell various characters in them. The Evil Inside is one such example - sure, James is able to put the unhappy spirit to rest, but not before the ghost murdered dozens of people over the years.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Haunted Hotel (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: The first four games can come across this way to players who encounter them later, as they were made by a different developer from the rest of the series. Starting with Eclipse, the series is the exclusive property of Elephant Games and most of the games have James Blackthorne as a recurring character. Also, in James's first three appearances, he dresses like a Victorian/Edwardian character and has long hair. Furthermore, these appearances do not give him a surname; in fact, Death Sentence goes to great lengths to avoid giving him more than a last initial, because the murderer in the game has the surname of Blackthorne. It's only starting with the installment Phoenix that he's given a last name and his modern appearance. The earliest games in the series don't have the interactive map which is typical of Elephant Games, which can be frustrating to someone who started with games that do and became accustomed to using the map to fast travel.

Shared Universe: These games exist in the same universe as several other Elephant Games properties, including Grim Tales, Mystery Trackers, and Detectives United. They also are revealed to exist in the same universe as the Mystery Case Files, owing to the fact that Richard Gray (of Grim Tales) once studied at a black magic school run by Alister Dalimar. (Elephant Games was the developer for two of the MCF games.)

His ghost has been killing people at the hotel ruins ever since.

Asshole Victim: Almost all of the murder victims are eventually revealed to have unsavory pasts. The pianist was charged with sexual assault; he pinned it on someone else, who was sent to prison for the crime. The hotel owners committed tax fraud, and the husband is also guilty of sexually harassing his employees, and possibly murdering one; and the maid was sleeping with her married boss in hopes of supplanting his wife and becoming rich. The only exception is the fortune teller, who - like James and the player - was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Family Disunion: A variant. The Blackthorne brothers are lured to the hotel with a fake invitation to a family reunion. They're actually looking forward to the gathering - James comments that he can't wait to see one particular aunt, because "she always has the best stories!" - but instead it's just them (and, in the bonus chapter their uncle Samuel), dealing with a mass haunting.

Occult Detective: James is shown to be this; his particular expertise is in helping ghosts with their Unfinished Business by solving mysteries related to the locations they haunt. This is also true of some of the non-James protagonists.

Late to the Tragedy: In most games, whatever horrible incident has led to the current haunting has already taken place by the time the player investigates. Justified in that the protagonists are usually detectives. The games which subvert the trope tend to have the tragedy happening to the protagonist.

Thematic Series: The series is effectively this, as it has no overarching storyline and only some of the games are connected to one another. Three of the games are completely stand-alone and have absolutely no relationship to any of the others.

Given some of his other commentary and facial expressions during the game, this could have been intended as some slight Ship Tease which the devs ultimately elected not to pursue.

Functional Magic: The supernatural definitely exists in these games, including psychic abilities, magic rituals, time travel, ghosts, and invisibility. It may not always be clear to the player why or how the magic in question works, but it's a real thing.

Start of Darkness
 Haunted Hotel (Video Game) / int_e0040f41
comment
Start of Darkness: Alexander had his when his beloved wife was murdered. In life he was a perfectly nice, normal guy who had no desire to harm anyone; he just wanted to live a quiet life in his family mansion with the woman he passionately adored. Unfortunately, he went off the deep end when Bella was taken from him, and after he himself died, his spirit transformed into a vengeful ghost.

comment
Closed Circle: Frequently, for one reason or another, there is a compelling reason why the protagonist is unable to leave the setting and why no one can get in to help them. Usually this is because whatever supernatural entity is causing the problem has trapped them, but sometimes it's because of more mundane reasons, like the deadly blizzard in The Axiom Butcher.

Oddball in the Series: It's one of the only two Haunted Hotel games in which the main game has no supernatural entity causing problems. The ghost of the Axiom Butcher is only a rumor. (There is a real ghost in the bonus chapter, however.)

Standalone Episode: It's one of the three installments in the series which have absolutely no connection to any other installment. It has no characters or locations in common with the rest of the series, and it neither contains any references to other games nor is referenced by any of the other Haunted Hotel installments.note (However, Schneider's Hotel does return as a location in Detectives United: The Darkest Shrine.)

Dark and Troubled Past: This game reveals that James has a minor one of these, having once (accidentally) brought about the conviction of an innocent man, and the man committed suicide rather than go to prison. Although he was exonerated of perjury charges, this is enough to make him a target of the game's killer.
