The Backdoor Project - Hotel Hell, and my journey to beating it

The scope of this video became much larger then I intended lol


Like I said in the Worst Time Ever video (can't remember if it was in video or just the description), I wanted to take on Hotel Hell, so after around 7.5 hours of attempts (not including prep time of Bad Time all modifiers and Really Bad Time all mods) I present to you the winning run... and my journey to beating it.

If you just look at Hotel Hell it seems identical to Worst Time Ever, everyone is set to 50. The difference is WTE doesn't have modifiers while HH has all 7, and those 7 modifiers make a massive difference.
From the easiest to the hardest modifier :
-Back For Seconds - Ambush attacks 4 times instead of 3
Honestly makes the game easier
-Seeing Double - There are 2 Eyes roaming the cameras
This one makes cameras a bit harder to use, but isn't too bad overall. It at least makes the game harder
-I'm Tip-Toeing Here - Rush is silent, his screen shake is reduced
tbh it's not too different. He tends to sync up with Figure for most of the run so you don't even need to be watching for him, but if he breaks this the screen shake is still really obvious. This would probably be before Seeing Double if it wasn't for
-Lights Out - Lights are off for the entire night
This is the first really difficult change, mainly because Screech is now always a threat. This also removes the visual indicator for Seek and Rush. Remember that Rush is also silent, making his only tell being screen shake. This would also be fine if it wasn't for Ambush, who can make Rush actually undetectable. You can play around it by waiting before unhiding but that actually lead to a death to Ambush as Figure was at door 85(far door).
-Tech Wizard - 5 nodes are required instead of 3
Since the first node can be completed really fast, this basically doubles the night length and forces you to survive significantly longer then before.
-Last Breath - Any damage will now instantly kill you
Not being hit is actually quite difficult. There is no room for error with this modifier. You can't miss a Dupe, can't look at Eyes too long, can't miss a Screech, it's really strict. The entity it combinds worst with though is
-Roundabout - Halt lasts a stupidly long time
HALT SUCKS IN THIS. He was the reason most of my attempts failed, including 2/3 of my 4 node attempts. Just look at timestamps I even dedicated a section of the video talking about why Halt sucks. Roundabout causes Halt to last for so long that by the time he's gone another one is about to spawn. Once you're at 1:15 he's there for basically the rest of the night.

Worst Time Ever is definitely more fun then this, mainly due to Halt, but Hotel Hell is still really fun to do, and very stressful. The custom music that plays only during this is really cool. The motifs of Here I Come and Unhinged are cool and the 4th node part really adds to the intensity. Overall I'm happy I decided to take on this challenge!


Anyways hopefully my sleep cycle can recover after making this video
