Glimt: The Vanishing at the Grand Starlight Hotel is a new [augmented reality detective game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmas-of-dark-stories) on Magic Leap 1 from [Resolution Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-tabletop-game) that draws players into a story surrounding sudden disappearances. While there are tons of entertaining detective games that have been released, this one boasts [diorama-style pop-ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vividq-call-of-duty) that invite players to peer into the rooms of the Grand Starlight Hotel.

Players will get files containing clues that trigger psychic visions of scenes, which depict timelines before, during and after the mysterious disappearances. With this information, players are tasked with recreating the scenes by placing various objects, furniture and characters within the AR hotel model. The virtual journey comes to life with not just augmented reality but also 10 voice-acted characters.
