The highly anticipated anime adaptation has been announced for Tasokare Hotel!
Developed by SEEC, this smartphone game app belongs to the “escape adventure novel” genre.

The story is set in the mysterious Tasogare Hotel, which exists between the afterlife and the living world.
The memory‐lost protagonist meets various souls in this hotel, regains their memories, and unfolds a journey toward the next world.
