Hotel Barcelona, the highly anticipated collaboration between game designers Swery65 and Suda51, has finally graced us with its presence. During our XBOX Digital Broadcast, we were treated to an exclusive gameplay trailer of this self-proclaimed “2.5D slasher film parodic action” game. Drawing inspiration from the vast realm of horror, players will find themselves facing off against a variety of foes, ranging from extraterrestrial beings to AI-enhanced sharks. All of this takes place within an unending time loop, where serial killers lurk and only the ghosts of your past selves can aid you.

Both Swery and Suda made appearances on the show to delve into the intricacies of the game. Swery shared the unconventional Genesis of the project, recounting how Suda spontaneously proposed the collaboration without any prior discussion. He also revealed his inspiration from Stanley Kubrick’s iconic film ‘The Shining’. Suda, on the other hand, shed light on their joint efforts in crafting the initial concept. He expressed his surprise at Swery’s swift progress in development, remarking that such lip service often leads to nothing. However, Swery’s dedication and determination brought Hotel Barcelona to life, driven by a desire to deliver something extraordinary to the fans.

“Hotel Barcelona” serves as the gathering place for notorious serial killers from all corners of the United States. Your mission? Defeat them all and make your escape before the bloodbath reaches its climax. This ambitious project is the brainchild of Japanese game creators Swery65 and Suda51, a collaboration that promises to be a must-play experience.
