Deep in the winding backstreets of the city stands the “Pontiff” Hotel. Worn-out, empty, and gloomy, it’s abandoned—and surrounded by a secret no one remembers.
Do you still think the legend of the twelfth floor—hidden from everyone—is true? The riddle about a mysterious guest who never registers at check-in and never registers when leaving. You think I can help you find this secret hideout and get you there, right?
Together with your friends, you might try to scare me. You might try to put pressure on me. Because, despite my useless efforts to hide everything I feel when I see you—ever since I was still a little girl—I still know: what you’re looking for is much closer than you think.

So come on—don’t be afraid! My house stands on a hill. Many roads lead to it, but finding the exit is anything but easy. I’ve already seen your hideout. Now it’s time for you to see mine…
