Night Of The Hermit was originally released around 2000 by ROY LAZAROVICH one of the first full lenght games created with the AGS game engine.
After exchanging a few emails, i was given the go ahead to remake the game, in a more modern style rather than just making a clone of the original

The story (text by Roy)
"It has now been 8 years since that pesky Guybrush left the Island. Herman has spent all of the money that he earned from that game, and things have started looking pretty bleak. Then one day a message in a bottle shows up, saying that his grandfather has died and left him his big mansion on Badger Island, somewhere in the Caribbean. So with visions of starting a new life, Herman packs his few belongings and sets out to claim his inheritance. But the thing about bottle mail is that it's slow, very slow. So by the time Herman gets to Badger Island, he finds that someone claimed the mansion years ago, and turned it into the sleazy Crippled Badger Motel. Herman decides to spend everything that he has left (which is 12 dollars, 45 cents, and some moss) for one night at the motel, determined to find a way to reclaim what is rightfully his. And this is his story"
Then plan is a 3 room demo, with one of the puzzles, talkie and the new graphics.
Heres 2 draft images of the Lobby and Bar, the images are based on the mansion in MI4
