A downloadable game

A haunted hotel. A cursed vacuum. And a family trapped in the aftermath.

Welcome to the Silverbirch Inn, a once-thriving mountain resort in Albion, Idaho—now left to rot under an eerie mechanical curse.
Play as Evan and Maya, two siblings searching for their missing relatives and seven trapped hotel guests.
But beware: something in the walls wants them gone.
Something that hums, rattles, and cleans up everything that moves.

👻 GAME OVERVIEW

ZOMVAC is a story-driven 2D top-down horror-adventure that blends exploration, puzzle-solving, and survival with a darkly comedic twist.
Inspired by Crash Bandicoot, Luigi’s Mansion, and Undertale, ZOMVAC mixes nostalgic gameplay with modern scares and branching storylines.

🏨 FEATURES

🌀 Explore the Haunted Silverbirch Inn

Traverse six cursed floors — from the cafeteria and playroom to the abandoned suites and chapel — each filled with environmental puzzles, supernatural threats, and quirky NPCs.

💀 Survive the Rogue Vacuums

Each vacuum has its own personality, tactics, and lore. From the Upright Overlord to the CordCoil Crusher, every encounter tests your reflexes and curiosity in unexpected ways.

💡 Solve Puzzle Vaults & Free Spirits

Each floor contains seven puzzle vaults. Solve riddles, logic tests, or RNG-based mini-games to collect Spirits and Spirit Shards — keys to unlocking the hotel’s deepest secrets.

💬 Meet the Residents

Help characters like Debbie Whitaker (the weary housekeeper), Breezy Fran (the talkative child guest), and Doug the Snack Stocker in side quests that blend humor, mystery, and emotion.

🕹️ Three Play Modes

  • Modern Mode – Safe for newcomers; unlimited retries.

  • Retro Mode – Lives matter; die too often and restart the floor.

  • Super Retro Mode – Classic challenge; lose your save slot if you fail a quest chain.

💎 Collectibles & Replayability

Gather Silver Keys, Spirit Shards, and hidden secrets across the hotel. Unlock alternate endings, post-game content, and bonus challenges based on your moral choices.

🔮 Multiple Endings

Your actions determine who you save, who you anger, and which truth you uncover about the Silverbirch curse.
Will you cleanse the hotel—or become part of its permanent staff?
