Route 9. 1962 — and every night since.

no-vacancy screenshot

You are the night clerk of the Lonesome Pines Motel. The neon sign never stops buzzing. The guests never check out. The guests are dead — and they pay in grave coins.

A dark idle game about a motel for the dead

Ring the desk bell. Rent rooms to restless spirits. Grow the motel from one soaked hitchhiker to a full house of ghosts — and read the Ledger, where every guest's story slowly reveals what really happened on Route 9… and who you really are.

▶ Play free in your browser. Progress saves automatically — close the tab, come back later, and collect what the guests paid while you were away.

What's inside
