Tina

During the game, James accidentally reveals an eerie secret about the hotel from his past
Tina
what is it?
Well, you see... when I was younger, my family went on a vacation to the Overlook Hotel. My parents thought it would be a great place to relax, but...
Tina
but what?
But something strange happened. One night, my sister and I heard knocking in the hallway outside our room. We opened the door to check, but there was no one there...
Tina
oh my god that’s terrifying
It gets even scarier. When we looked further down the hall, we found the room across from ours empty, but filled with broken glass and blood on the floor.
Tina
what? were you scared?
Terrified. My sister and I ran back to our room and locked the door, trembling with fear. We didn't sleep a wink that night.
Tina
that’s horrible
After that night, we never stayed at the Overlook Hotel again. The memory haunted me for years.
Tina
I’m so sorry that happened to you
Thank you for listening. It's been a burden carrying that memory alone for so long.
