The gameplay is based on the "living world" concept. The characters have their own activities in the game world and they won't stand still waiting for player to come even if they have some business with him. Quite the same thing could be seen in The Last Express adventure. The developers also got inspiration from the classical Colonel's Bequest - A Laura Bow Mystery. The hotel is inhabited with 15 characters with different stories and unique personalities conforming their prototypes from Strugatsky Brothers' story.

The game storyline is now being discussed. It might be strictly based on the "Inspektor Glebsky's Puzzle" or might be a sequel to the original story. There might be only characters from the original story in the game or there might be some new characters added to extend the gameplay. Please see our next press-releases for more details on this point. The true spirit of the original story will be kept for sure. Boris Strugatsky, last live brother, is involved into the creation process and shows living interest to the new project. We hope that together we will be able to satisfy the demands of the true admirers of Strugatsky Brothers' fiction.
