**Hotel Izanami** is an abandoned haunted hotel and the main setting for Livestream: Escape from Hotel Izanami. It was a famous haunted resort, located in N Prefecture, Tokaezuka City.

Mio, Nana and Azusa locally traveled there as Nana's request to shoot a video there. It would be a film shoot at an average haunted location with no particular legend attached.

## History

According to what Nana mentioned in the beginning of the game, when the Hotel Izanami was still in business, its building that so closely resembles a castle was like a secret garden, opening its doors exclusively to adults. Borrowing the influence of Tokaezuka Fantasy Land, the amusement park once located across from here, it used to be a bustling hotel. However, following the construction of large-scale theme parks in other prefectures, together with its inconvenient location, Tokaezuka Fantasy Land began to lose its appeal and along with it. Hotel Izanami had also lost its former spark. The owner's efforts were in vain, and it slowly began to fade from the public's memory. The owner, suffering from unpaid debt, forced his only daughter into a double suicide. The hotel was then shut down, and was destroyed or rather should have been destroyed. However, for some reason, the demolition contractors who set foot inside the hotel were all victims of misfortune. They were involved in traffic accidents or accosted by someone night after night or suffered from mental illness, bedridden. As a result, the Hotel Izanami remains in this world, even now. According to one theory, the owner's ghost still wanders through the hotel - cursing every person who attempts to enter and then killing them. There was one of the rumors about the hotel tells of "the ghost who appears in the room on the third floor".

## Appearance

The building of Hotel Izanami appears to resemble a castle.

## In the game

While the girls are filming, Mio gets separated from the group, and suddenly gets attacked by a mascot costume that has come to life. They will be also become trapped in the hotel as they've been shut in to the hotel with no escape. The three girls will need to find a way how to escape the haunted hotel without getting caught by the murderous mascot. While exploring the hotel ruins, the player will come across various items and hints. Searching every nook and cranny of the rooms to get items and hints that would help the girls survive. Some items in the hotel will greatly change the girls' fate. The various frights in the hotel will be met while exploring the hotel ruins. They will also encounter the puzzles that may need to solve in order to continue.

## Abilities

Since the Hotel Izanami is haunted, it has the ability to lock the doors in certain rooms, blocking the exit with some kind of hair, setting some harmful traps itself. If any person trespasses the hotel, they are cursed and the inevitable death will approach them unless they break the curse. As shown in Never Ending Nightmare ending, even if the girls have successfully escaped the hotel, they will still end up dying because the curse is not yet broken and still upon them. Although the ending only shows Mio being killed by a ghost, it's most likely that Azusa and Nana are killed as well as the cutscene of breaking news about their disappearance is also shown.
