OMNIVORE

A small rundown hotel turns out to be not such a simple place as it seems. People come here who are willing to pay any price to have their wishes fulfilled. Guests await luxurious rooms tailored to every taste, exquisite dinners, and... a personal maze of illusions. Each floor becomes a mirror of one’s soul, exposing fears, greed, and secrets that people have hidden even from themselves for years. To leave the hotel, they must pass through their own true reflection – but not everyone will have enough courage and willpower to do so.
