It's been so long since we have interacted and shared update on the project Motel Life Simulator. So much have happened during this time and we wanna share details with you.

𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐥 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫
We believe in the idea and we were really excited to work on this project but we are a really small team and beside our jobs/Freelance works we worked on the project. But since it was our first big project we couldn't calculate the risks properly and we had to stop the development on it for a while because of financial situation. Then later we saw so many Motel Simulator games emerging on Steam.
Development is currently on hold for Motel and then we got the opportunity to work on something really exciting.

Motel Life Simulator is not abandoned we will give it a new direction and vision as we wanna deliver something great and exciting for you guys. We are very small team of 2 and everything we work on, we work with passion and dedication. So we are learning and enjoying this journey and we wanna share this joy with you by delivering something really fun.

𝐀 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐰 𝐎𝐰𝐥 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐬 𝐱 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨𝐬

We are currently working on a project with Ashen Studios which is currently a one man studio. He is a friend and a very skilled Dev and most importantly a horror enthusiast like us.
A project so dear to us and it really go with the vision of Shadow Owl Studios. A Dark Psychological Horror kind of project.
