A Wake Inn: Rebooked

About A Wake Inn: Rebooked

A Wake Inn: Rebooked is a first-person adventure puzzle-platformer with horror elements. You play as a mannequin-like figure in a wheelchair, exploring the eerie Silver Inn Hotel to uncover its secrets. Developed by VR Bros, this 2027 PC release adds new content, animated enemies, and multiple endings to the original 2025 version. The game blends exploration with environmental puzzles, requiring you to navigate dimly lit corridors and manipulate objects to progress. It’s a tense, atmospheric experience for players who enjoy slow-burn mystery and physics-based challenges.

Gameplay

You control the mannequin using a mix of movement, object interaction, and timed actions to solve puzzles. Each level forces you to rearrange furniture, trigger switches, or avoid hostile entities that react to sound and light. Platforming segments involve balancing on narrow ledges or timed jumps while managing limited mobility. The camera often locks to the environment, creating claustrophobic tension. Stealth elements require crouching or using darkness to evade enemies, while puzzles demand lateral thinking, like using mirrors to reflect light or stacking objects to reach new areas. Sessions last 30, 60 minutes, with frequent save points.

What Players Think

Critic scores sit at 78% on Metacritic, with praise for atmosphere but criticism for repetitive puzzles. PlayPile community ratings average 4.2/5, though 30% of players abandon the game after 2 hours. Average completion time is 8 hours, with 45% finishing all endings. Community moods lean "tense" (62%) and "frustrating" (28%), citing finicky controls and unclear objectives. A $29.99 price tag and 50+ achievements for unlocking secrets make it appealing for completionists. One review notes, “Feels like a haunted museum with too many dead ends.”

PlayPile's Take

A Wake Inn: Rebooked thrives for fans of cerebral puzzles and minimalist horror. The wheelchair mechanic adds a unique layer to platforming, but clunky navigation and under-explained systems may alienate newcomers. With 52 achievements offering 1000 XP, it rewards persistence. At $29.99, it’s a riskier buy than the base game, but the expanded content justifies the cost for completionists. Not a must-play, but a compelling choice for those who enjoy figuring out cryptic stories in oppressive settings.
