003╭﹒Seek | DOORS ﹒⟢

Seek is an amorphous, liquid-like entity made of a black, pitch-like slime or goo. While it can shape-shift and manifest as floating eyes on walls or as a massive mound in The Dam, its primary chase form is a tall, featureless, cycloptic humanoid emitting a dim red glow.

A dark, featureless head with a single white-rimmed, horizontal cyclops eye. Attire: A fitted, dark-toned three-piece suit, dress shoes, and matching gloves.

Seek is pure malice. It exhibits no empathy, reason, or morality, acting as an unfeeling, predatory entity driven strictly to pursue, corner, and destroy. Rather than attacking blindly, Seek displays high tactical awareness.

It manipulates the environment—flickering lights, spawning eyes along walls to stalk players (Seek's Crescendo), and blocking pathways with tendrils—suggesting it actively feeds on fear and enjoys the hunt.

Dominant & Hostile to All: Seek is completely indiscriminate and operates entirely alone. It is openly hostile even toward other monsters, as demonstrated when it corrupts and attacks other entities like Queen Grumble.

A tall, slender, jet-black figure shaped like a human, completely featureless except for a single, glowing white cyclops eye in the center of its head. It emits a faint red light and leaves black liquid puddle particles as it runs. Environmental Manifestation: Prior to the chase, Seek appears as dozens of glowing, white-and-black eyes embedded in the walls, paintings, and furniture of the rooms you walk through.

In The Mines, Seek transforms into a massive, sprawling mound of black ooze that flows through corridors, spawning hands and tendrils from the black liquid.

A smooth, matte-black cycloptic head with a single horizontal white eye featuring a sharp pupil, keeping his canonical face design.

A fitted dark suit including a blazer, matching trousers, a vest, a high-collared dress shirt, a tie, and black leather gloves. He wears dark lace-up dress shoes on his feet.

He is sitting cross-legged in a high-backed red and dark-wood armchair, leaning his chin on one hand in a relaxed pose set against a deep red, textured background.

The Hotel appears as a cozy, vintage-styled hotel comprised of various rooms and sections. Almost all interior spaces are made of wood, along with other amenities such as couches, beds, bookshelves, and fireplaces. A heavy storm perpetually rains on outside, shrouding The Hotel in an ambience that is particularly noticeable in rooms with windows.

At the start of each run (that was not continued from The Backdoor), players may purchase items at the Pre-Run Shop with Knobs while in the elevator. If every player closes the Pre-Run Shop, they can finish the elevator ride early.

Players will have to make their way through various randomly generated rooms each separated by numbered doors in the corridor. Every player's goal is to reach Door 100 in order to reach the elevator and successfully escape to The Mines.

Guiding Light - A helpful entity that guides players throughout their journey. If players die, she will provide tips on how to survive the entity that killed them most of the time (not including the 2023 April Fool's Event). Guiding Light also highlights important items and objects (such as keys and doors) after a certain amount of time has passed in a room.

Figure - The main antagonist of The Hotel. It is completely blind, and thus relies on sounds and vibrations to locate players in both The Library and The Electrical Room.

Seek - The secondary antagonist of The Hotel. Appears twice to chase down players. It announces its presence with eyes appearing from black goo and eye paintings appearing on the walls in earlier rooms. The lights will also flicker in these rooms, even if and when there are no other entities.

Recurring Entities Rush - Flickers the lights before rushing through several rooms up to an unopened correctly labelled door and opens it, breaking all the lights in the process and making the room a dark room. All nearby players that aren't hiding are dealt 125 damage on sight, enough to kill without overheal.

Ambush - A more elusive entity, which has a rare chance to replace Rush without flickering the lights, rather being announced by a loud sound. It is quicker and rebounds through the rooms 2-6 times to catch players off-guard without breaking the lights. Similarly to Rush, Ambush deals 100 damage on sight to all non-hiding nearby players.

Eyes - Appears randomly upon entering a room, and are signified by a distinct sound effect and a bright blue/purple glow. The entity deals rapid damage if stared at.

Screech - Can spawn in any dark rooms (including The Library and The Electrical Room with modifiers) and reveals its presence with a “Psst!” and a slight screen shake. Players must look around in order to spot the entity and counteract the attack, otherwise it will deal 40 damage to them.

Dupe - Poses as a door with a number label, but the number is always out of order and wrong. Players must not enter the wrong door, or Dupe will attack them, dealing 40 damage. A fake door may be identified by listening for growls or scratching sounds near the door and the wrong door number.

Miscellaneous Entities Halt - Chases down players in The Dining Hall, and tries to ambush them by appearing from behind and in front, the player having to turn around repeatedly in order to get out of The Dining Hall.

Hide - An unseen entity which becomes aggravated if a player hides for too long in a closet, after which it will push them out, damaging them. Players will be unable to hide again for a few seconds. Jack - Rarely appears behind doors 1/2000 and in closets 1/200 to jumpscare players.

Timothy - A spider that lurks in containers. When players open a container, it has a 1/200 chance to spawn and jump on their face and take away a small bit of health.

Dread - Attacks players when they stay for too long in one room, and can appear in any room. After the time has passed the player's screen will begin to darken, and exhibit a monotone tint. It will slowly chase players while remaining scarcely visible.

Snare - Appears in The Greenhouse, stopping any player in their tracks if they step on it. Players must avoid them with some sort of light source for identifying their location. Sally - Attacks players after a lightning strike or flicker of lights, although being very rare. She won't attack if she is given an item to play with.

Void - Attacks players that are lagging too far back from the rest of the team when in a multiplayer elevator. It will teleport them back to their team but deals a random amount of damage in the process (Estimatedly, 25% health) El Goblino - A friendly entity that players can chat with in Jeff's Shop. After a player talks to him three times, he will go silent. Jeff - A friendly entity that resides in its respective shop, selling items to players who are interested. Bob - A friendly entity that players can interact with but causes nothing to happen. It appears in Jeff's Shop. Shadow - A very rare harmless ghostly entity ( 1 2000 {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{2000}}}) that appears briefly when the lights flicker randomly after opening a new door.

Curious Light - Appears as a yellow rift if the Bottle of Starlight was previously used and while it lights up the entrances to The Rooms and The Outdoors.

Glitch - Acts as a failsafe (The Mines and The Hotel). It will appear when the next room has failed to load. It also functions as Void in The Rooms and The Backdoor.

Glitch Fragment Entities - Glitched variations of Screech, Rush and Ambush that appear when interacting with a Glitch Fragment. World Lotus - It appears as a thorny vine outside the perimeter gate of The Courtyard.

The Reception - One of the two fixed locked rooms. Always spawns on Door 0, and the key is on the shelf, but in the 2023 April Fools Event, a fake key, Known as THE EVIL KEY!!!(numbered 0002) kills players, and the real key is hidden next to a bookshelf.

An L-Shaped Room, with a sub-room either as a small office or a standard hotel room.

This is often said as the easiest key room other than The Reception. It is the only locked room that can spawn as a ruined room, and the only room in the hotel other than The Electrical Room and The Rooms entrance to have a broken wall, as one of the walls will be damaged by a shelf, allowing free access to the sub-room without using the door. This type of room can spawn early as Door 1.

A corridor with a window suite on the side. It contains a large compartment with an almost guaranteed item. This room also has many crates. This type of room can spawn as early as Door 10.

A plus junction, with four small hotel rooms, but many drawers. Dupe doors can spawn. This type of room can spawn as early as Door 5.

A long corridor with eight small hotel rooms. It also has many drawers. Luggage carts may be in the way. This type of room can spawn as early as Door 4.

A T-Shaped junction with a blocked middle, with several rooms, some are empty, while others are hotel rooms. Either a Blocked Door, a Door with a Chest/Drawer or a Dupe door can spawn. These rooms can spawn as early as Door 18.

The Electrical Room - One of the two fixed rooms, with the Electrical Room Key spawning on some shelves. The key opens the High Voltage Door, leading to the Circuit Puzzle. Prior to Hotel+, it spawned in the Mining Elevator. Always spawns on Door 100.

Lever Gate Rooms These rooms have a chain link gate blocking the exit door. In order to progress, Players must find the lever to open the gate. Basements are Lever Gate Rooms.

Small Basements Before The Content Update, Basements were known as small basements, which appeared to be very similar to the current Basements. Small basements would always spawn with the exact same room generation. As of The Content Update, small basements and the large basement have been merged.

The Basement See The Basement or Special Locations below for information.

Dark Rooms Dark Rooms are minor events in which any room can generate with the lights completely off. It can be hard to see without a light source (although difficult either way), so using one is highly recommended, as it helps players see significantly clearer and also heavily lowers the chance of Screech (an entity that can only appear in Dark Rooms) of spawning.

It can be told if the room is a Dark Room from the ambience which plays when the door is opened. If a player spends too long inside a Dark Room, the Guiding Light will highlight the correct door to escape, and also a key if necessary.

The Guiding Light will also highlight all the doors in a Dark Room, and always highlights the key regardless if the room is a Dark Room or not. Dark Rooms are more likely to generate the further players are in the run.

Rush and Ambush cannot spawn in most Dark Rooms, except for the Large Basement and the Greenhouse (which Ambush cannot spawn in) which are rooms that are always dark. Dark Rooms can spawn as early as Door 9 (without modifiers). It is also guaranteed to get at least 10 Dark Rooms in a single run, due to The Greenhouse and The Basement. The buzzing sound of lamps can be heard in the Dark Rooms.

The Electrical Room Main article: The Electrical Room The Electrical Room are a series of rooms in which players can enter at Door 100. These rooms include the Elevator (where players can escape the floor), a staircase room which will present players the Rift when walking downstairs, corridors, small rooms, and a small room in which a small electrical wire box is situated.

The electrical box is a puzzle in which players needs to solve before escaping. It requires 10 Breaker Poles which are scattered around the corridors and small rooms. These series of rooms all have shelves, electrical equipment and crates. Players must be careful of Figure when navigating these rooms, since it wanders around every single corner.

Secondary Locations Secondary Locations are rooms that are unique to most common rooms but are less noticeable and important.

General Rooms The Office: A room with its passageway blocked by furniture. On the side, there is an entrance to an Office area. It has a container and a Rolltop Desk, where items can be found. There is a hole in the window of the area that can be crouched through to pass by the blocking furniture, allowing players to progress to the next room.

Window Suite: A normal hallway with a big room on the side, leading to a large hotel suite with a large window. It always contains a Rolltop Desk with a large chance to contain an item, valuing this room very useful. A Room Key needs to be aquired to exit.

Suite: A small room with beds and wardrobes, seemingly split into 2 sections. In the Hotel+ update Crucifixes were given a chance of spawning on the wall, between two beds.

Skeleton Key Room: This room contains the Green Herb, (also known as the Herb of Viridis), which is a plant that gives health as doors are opened and is hidden behind a door that can only be unlocked with the Skeleton Key. This room can be found within the main hallway of The Infirmary.

Hidden Corridor: This room does not have the door directly in front, but players needs to take a hidden, narrow corridor to get to the next room. It also has many closets. Door Corridor: This room is a winding hallway with several doors on the side.

Courtyard Basement: The Courtyard Basement can be found within The Courtyard. It contains a trapdoor covered with vines, which require the Shears to open.

Once the Shears have been used, players enter down a flight of stairs, into a room that is similar to small basements. This room will contains a large amount of Gold. Although, players must be careful of Snare, who inhabits the floor and the entrance.

Lounge: A room with many bookshelves, chairs, and paintings. It usually spawns between Doors 70-88, but may appear anytime. Crucifixes have a rare chance of spawning above the door.

Room of Closets: This room is one of the few rooms with seemingly ripped off wallpaper, and barren except for the unusual amount of closets, spawning 12 every time a player enters. This is ironic as the maximum amount of people who can play the game is 12 in a server, boding well for players challenging themselves with such game mode.

Mid-Run Rift Room: This room requires a Skeleton Key to unlock, allowing the player to access the rift before reaching the final room on a floor. See Mid-Run Rift Room for more information.

Double Stairway Room: A room that has two floors. A stairs to three sub-rooms (one room can lead to the next room) and two elevator doors you cannot enter.

There is also another door on the first floor that can be a blocked or openable sub-room or a door that leads to next room and a few of the luggage carts can spawn with a locked chest. Dupe can spawn in this room and crucifixes can also be found on the walls.

Two Elevators in T-Shaped Corridor: A room that is shaped like the letter T, with two elevator doors you cannot enter. A luggage cart can spawn with a locked chest, along with a sub-room that can be blocked or openable.

Three Elevators Room: A room the can spawn three elevators and a sub-room that appears like it leads to the outside. Dupe can spawn in this room.

Entity-Related Rooms Seek's Chase Rooms: Chase Corridor: A normal room with fallen furniture that players must duck under. Intersection Corridor: A room with 3 doors, each one on the left, right and ahead. Only one of these is the correct door, as the others are barricaded, broken or lacking a doorknob.

There are two types of this room: one is a plus-shaped corridor, which is the intersection corridor, and one is an octagonal-shaped corridor. The octagonal-shaped one can spawn outside of the Seek Chase. Chase Hallway: A Grand Hallway with fallen chandeliers and Seek's hands coming from the windows.

The Dining Hall: See The Dining Hall or Special Locations above for information. Entrance Rooms

Library Entrance: The room before the Library, which has a Large Office Desk and is always accessed by the right side of the room. At the front, there is a door leading to the Library. It is always at Door 49.

The Rooms Entrance: This room is always on Door 60, since The Hunt 2024 update. It is in bad condition, much like a Ruined Room. It always is followed by The Basement. The room contains a normal exit, but behind some furniture, there is a hole in the wall. Passing through that hole, there is a long, narrow walkway into a small room.

It contains a mysterious painting, some furniture and a lever-activated door. To open it, players must pull the lever in The Basement Behind the lever-activated door is the entrance to The Rooms. It requires two lockpicks and a skeleton key to open.

The Outdoors Entrance: This room is guaranteed to spawn in Door 90 and 99 which serves as an entrance to The Outdoors. It looks like a normal Greenhouse room but the room is not dark and there is a double door which has a light showing at it. The door is blocked with vines so Shears is needed to cut the vines.

Behind the door is a room with closets on the side and a door which leads to The Outdoors. A Skeleton Key is required to open the door and enter The Outdoors. Electrical Room Entrance: A special room in the Greenhouse that always occurs on Room 99.

Before The Hotel+ Update: It was a large room with drawers, several closets and a bed. Players must run here after Figure arrives in The Electrical Room. This room also contains one of the entrances to The Outdoors. 𓎢𓎟𓎟𓎟𓎟𓎟𓎟𓎟𓎟𓎟𓎟𓎟𓎟𓎟𓎟 Modifiers Main article: Modifiers Wet Floor "The floor is slippery."

Some of the paintings scattered throughout the Hotel are references to other things. It's often about modern humor, other video games or knockoffs of real life paintings. The design of The Hotel bears similarities to the hotel from At Dead of Night, a ghost horror game which mainly takes place in a hotel.

The walls in the basements and the space between the door and the fireplace in the Dining Rooms may be a reference to Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion.

Every floor and subfloor is actually extremely long and can very likely make a true fact that the entire place is as big as a City.

Since the Backdoor update, in the Hotel there are these guaranteed rooms during a run, according to the developers: 2 small basements. 1 painting puzzle room.

Every kind of locked room once. 8 side-rooms locked room. Plus-shaped locked room. T-shaped locked room.

Side-room with big window locked room. L-shaped locked room. Ruined L-shaped locked room. The Basement

Some rooms look like separate hotel rooms, which may be inspired by the rooms in Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion, which contain beds and nightstands. Strangely enough, The Hotel features both modern and grandfather clocks, suggesting that the events of DOORS take place in the modern day.

However The Hotel has the Infirmary, which acted as hospitals during the world wars to help wounded soldiers.

According to one of Curious Lights Backdoor dialogs, The Hotel is old. On one of the achievements, El Goblino is using a laptop that may imply possible internet connection in the Hotel, although these are not always canon.

The Hotel begins at night 11:00 PM. When player(s) escape each room, the time will reset. AFK players prevents the hands from ticking, if on singleplayer. Multiplayer servers require all players to be AFK to do this.

This is especially useful for dealing with Dread, as Dread will spawn as the clock hits 12:00 AM. Sometimes lights will start randomly breaking in rooms, sometimes making the room completely dark, even if Rush does not appear.

Sometimes players will randomly hear the "Psst" sound, even when Screech isn't present.

This sound is part of the ambience, as a trick. El Goblino stated that he is the one who is making some of the ambient sounds throughout the Hotel.

One of the ambient sounds is similar to Foxy running from Five Nights at Freddy's. The brown lumps around The Hotel are a meat-like substance

Rush - If lights flicker (Hotel) or the room starts to shake (Mines) it means Rush is coming. Hide in a locker to survive. It spawns a lot in the greenhouse, where there are no lights to flicker, so you can only rely on sound.

Ambush - If you hear a loud distorted scream, Ambush is coming. It'll behave just like Rush, but it rebounds, then you have to go in and out of the closet repeatedly until it goes away (Lights won't flicker)

Screech - If you hear a "psst" sound, look around until you find Screech. Stare at it and it will go away. If you don't, it'll bite you (it won't kill you instantly)

Eyes - Flying eyes that can spawn inside the next room. Don't look at them to survive, the more you look the more damage you will take. It won't kill you instantly unless you keep looking at it

Dupe - Sometimes you'll see two doors to the next room. That means one of these is a fake door with a Dupe behind it. It won't kill you instantly, you just need to pay attention to the room numbers so you know which one is the real door

Halt - Your vision will become glitchy and you will appear in a long hallway (hotel). It'll chase you until the end of the hallway, but everytime your screen glitches you have to turn around because it'll come from the other way. Keep repeating it until you're finally at the end of the hallway

Hide - Staying in a locker for too long will cause Hide to appear. It'll slowly warn you to get out, and if you don't, it will kick you out. Only enter a locker when necessary

Jack - A rare entity which can spawn in two different ways. It can either spawn inside a locker or in a blood room. Blood rooms are rare and connected to Jack, so if you see Jack when you open a door, a blood room will be generated; the place will turn reddish and the rain will turn red. Jack is harmless, however, if it spawns inside a locker, you cannot get inside it

Timothy - A fucking spider. There's no way to escape it, it'll randomly appear inside drawers and chests. It won't you kill though, it's only there to jumpscare you

Dread - Staying in a room for too long will cause Dread to appear. Go to the next room and it won't follow you

Void - Being several rooms behind your friends in Multiplayer will cause Void to appear and take you to them. However, Void can kill you, so it's better to just stick together

Shadow - A flying shadow of a person which has a very rare chance of spawning in the next room. It's harmless

Snare - It can only spawn at the greenhouse. When stepped on by a player, it traps them with it's spikes for a few seconds. If Rush spawns, stepping on Snare will prevent you from reaching the locker in time, so you should be careful

Sally - A very rare shadow-like entity with a glowy smile. It'll come out of the window and chase the player until they give Sally an item. You can't outrun Sally, the only way to stop it is by giving it an item to play with

Seek - If dark eyes start to come out of the walls, it means Seek will appear soon. Seek is guaranteed to appear two times a run. When the eyes stop appearing, you will enter a long hallway, and at the end of it, you have to be prepared to run, because Seek will chase after you. After running for about 7 rooms the Seek chase will end. It won't follow you to the next rooms. In the Mines, Seek is also the boss. You need to turn the valves to make it flow down the sewer.

Figure - Guaranteed to appear at doors 50 and 100 of the hotel. A humanoid blind entity that relies on sound, crouching will soft down your steps, so it's better to walk like that next to Figure. Look for the books or breaker switches (Hotel) and do the puzzles to escape it. In the Mines, Figure is not the boss. It is guaranteed to appear three times

Giggle - Screech cousin; Giggles spawn on the ceiling and are always giggling, so players can know whether they're close. Walking under a Giggle will cause it to drop from the ceiling and fall on the player's face. After a few seconds the player will throw it away, however, it can still kill you

Gloombats - A group of moths that will only attack the player if they use any source of light, such as lighters, flashlights, etc

Louie - A harmless rat that lives inside a mole. Giving Louie an item will cause it to trade with the player and give them a new item. It can give the player more than one item.

El Goblino, Jeff - Friendly entities residing at Jeff's shop, located right after doors 50 and 150. Jeff is an entity with tentacles that will sell important items to the player such as the crucifix, which can temporarily banish most of the harmful entities. El Goblino is a goblin-like entity that talks to the player and gives them some important lore information. They also have a third friend called Bob, but it is not an entity, just a human skeleton that probably died before the player got into the Hotel.
