Hotel Hideaway: Social Avatar Adventure Review

Title: Hotel Hideaway: Social Avatar Adventure

Creator: Simo Piispanen

Made: Around October 2014

Latest Version: Version 2.3.1

At first look, the game looked fun. It’s a social avatar adventure so you can expect to make your own avatar, talk to people all over the world and go on quests. You get to make an avatar, name it, an stuffs like that. Unfortunately, there are only a limited choices of looks you can pick from: hair, shirt, pants, and shoes, (also their colors). There is a free one for each category by default, however if you want to change, you have to buy them with the initial game money you have. You can change looks anytime throughout the game as long as you already own the item. Other than that, you can also choose their current emotion: either happy, smiling, neutral, sad, or angry. Here’s my avatar named Koi:

Gameplay itself is veeeeery limited since this game is new. You can go through the tutorials but you can’t pass the part where you try to lock pick the door in your room cause the game always crashed. Hopefully they fix that. Apart from your room, places you can go to include the library, beach, the closet, and the lobby. Your avatar can also do some neat stuffs on the furniture such as seat not them or lay down.

There are also quests you have to do fox exps and money (per my friends there since I haven’t done them myself) The most entertaining part about the game (it being so new) is chatting and the gestures. What you can notice at first is that, it seems like 60% of the current, limited population are Filipinos (including myself). Anyways, when you chat, bubbles come out and your conversation is also logged in the chat box. You also get to use some stickers they have such as ROFL, and chicken emoticons. Gestures are also super fun. I love how the game made a dance pad like thingy to make certain gestures. The only problem is that, you have to guess the combination to do the move. Here are the ones I know of right now:

Gestures combination:

Kick: Green

Turn: White, Green, Blue, Purple

Gangnam Style: White, Blue, Purple, Right Gray

Jump: Blue, White, Orange

Bow (Japanese style): Orange, White, Blue

Thank/Pray (???) Orange, White

Cry: Yellow, Orange, Red

Face Palm: Red, Orange

Scratch Head: Yellow, Orange

Flying Kiss with Hearts: Yellow, Orange, North-west Gray

Wave (left): Yellow, North-west Gray

Wave (right): Red, North-east Gray

Bow (stage style): Gray, Blue, South-east gray

Clap: Yellow, Gray, Red

Other than that, let’s just wait for more updates. I believe this game has potential if it’s other features (I’m hoping it would have) will be put up. Thanks!
