The idea behind 5 Nights at Shrek's Hotel is not too complicated. Once you're inside the hotel, you have five extremely risky evenings to live. All you can do is run for your life as a furious green innkeeper has you at his hands. The deformed mutant assumes a variety of bizarre appearances, and depending on the night you are trapped, he will do horrible things. Unsafe turns and twists conceal secret tunnels. These hallways really induce claustrophobia, particularly if you keep missing the hidden escape route. A few unexpected conclusions await gamers, and if they're really lucky, they might even be able to eliminate the ogre early on.
