Hotel isn't exactly a game, per se, described as a 'multiple narrative work' and 'e-lit,' but with more and more people discussing the overlap between interactive fiction and games in a more traditional sense, it's close enough. At the very least, it's a surreal way to spend an hour or two.
In the name of science you are about to become a freak accident waiting to happen. His name is Dr. Doglin and you are the new volunteer at Preconstruction, his mysterious private clinic located inside a hotel. In a few seconds he will ask you to swallow a strange tablet and be hit by a very big truck. But first he would kindly like to ask you to practice in a wheelchair. Welcome to the clinically bizarre world of Hotel.

Oh no. This thing.
I "experienced" (played would be a stretch) this a few months ago, and it was an excessively bizarre hour. Quite a headtrip, to say the least.
I still don't understand anything about it.
I'm going to play this, can't think of anything better to do at 3 in the morning?
Oh, for a second there I thought that was Habbo Hotel.
Images of guys wearing afros and blocking areas stating that the "pool is closed" flew through my mind.
That's generally style of the author/artist, Hoogerbrugge. His interactive music video, Flow, is just as bizarre: [www.hoogerbrugge.com]
@Dr.Chocobo: AIDS IN THE POOL
But really, this is terrifying D: I'm guessing that there's some sort of philo-sociological message I'm not getting, or something. But whatever, it's trippy.
I feel like I should be on drugs while "playing" this "game".
For a second, I thought it said "Hostel".... now that would be an "interesting" game to play....
What the what, with the what? I can't quite believe I just played that all the way through. I think I need to go lie down for a bit.
@Dr.Chocobo: Pools closed due to AIDs.
@Dr.Chocobo: NEVAR FORGET
*cough*
Sorry.
@Dr.Chocobo: You know too much.
@splines: You know too much too.
@GamerMike: And so do you.
Measures must be taken.
Han Hoogerbrugge is a absolute genius. Cool to see him linked here.
Pretty neat. Got bored of the music kind of quickly, though :l
