Dead of night Guide

horror game that blends live-action and stunning graphics

Dead of night is a horror game. It seamlessly blends live-action and graphics to create a unique immersive horror experience. You play Maya, a student trapped in a remote hotel run by a sociopath called Jimmy Hall. Jimmy has tied up Maya's friends and locked them in their rooms, with evil intentions. Maya has managed to escape, but Jimmy is on the prowl looking for her. However, to get him to release her friends, Maya must uncover Jimmy's dark secret. Using an ancient 'Ghost and spirit receiver' she finds, Maya must communicate with the ghosts of Jimmy's past, who materialize around the hotel and gradually reveal their story.

Jimmy seems to simply be a chirpy, talkative man who loves doing a comedy routine as his alter ego Hugo Punch and is insistent people come to watch his act.

However, it's shown that his alter ego, Hugo Punch (later revealed to be unknowingly based on his father also named Hugo), takes over Jimmy. As Hugo, Jimmy is a very mentally-unstable psychopath who lacks morals. He is shown to get very violent, as he is seen chasing Maya with a bat the entire game and is seen holding a chloroform rag to someone's nose in the beginning cutscene of the game. According to Rose, Jimmy has a bad temper, specifically if someone insults his comedy act. Assuming Rose is telling the truth, Jimmy has no control over what Hugo does.

Despite his "Hugo side", Jimmy appears very remorseful for what he does, as he becomes depressed and even attempted to commit suicide after he had gotten angry at a guest complaining to him of his offensive comedy routine and tied them up, putting them in a room. In the prologue cutscene, he attempts to resist Hugo's control.
