The Suicide of Rachel Foster

Imagine a big, old hotel called the Timberline Hotel. It's December, and it's snowing so much that Nicole Wilson has to stay there! But this isn't just any hotel visit.

Nicole's dad used to work there, and something sad happened a long time ago involving a girl named Rachel. Now, Nicole is back to figure out what happened to Rachel, and she can only talk to a nice man named Irving on her phone. It's like a detective game where you help Nicole find clues!

This story is actually a video game! The people who made it wanted to make a game that felt a little scary, but not with monsters jumping out. They wanted you to feel suspense, like when you're waiting for a surprise!

They thought a big, empty hotel would be a perfect place for this feeling. It's like when you're in a quiet hallway at school and you hear a little noise – it makes you wonder what's going on!

Nicole has to explore the hotel and find special things to help her solve the mystery. She uses her phone to talk to Irving, who is like her helper from far away. He can't be there because of the snowstorm.

The game is like a big puzzle where you collect pieces of information. The more clues Nicole finds, the more she learns about Rachel and what happened. It's like putting together a jigsaw puzzle of a secret story!

This game talks about some grown-up and sad things, like secrets and why people might feel very unhappy. The game makers wanted to be very careful and kind when telling this story. They wanted to help people understand that sometimes, even when things seem okay on the outside, people might be going through difficult times. It's a reminder to be kind to everyone.
