HOTEL BARCELONA (v1.0.1)

Hotel Barcelona plunges players into a dark and twisted world set within a mysterious hotel located on the eerie border between Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Beneath its luxurious facade lies a deadly trap designed to contain America’s most notorious serial killers. You step into the shoes of Justine, a rookie federal marshal burdened with a haunting secret: her mind is shared with Dr. Carnival, a deranged killer with a violent history. Together, they must navigate the hotel’s sinister corridors, eliminating deadly foes while fighting to survive and escape. This 2.5D slasher-action game goes beyond traditional side-scrolling mechanics by blending tactical movement, precise timing, and strategic use of unique abilities. The atmospheric environments, inspired by 1980s American horror films, are packed with danger and suspense. A standout gameplay element is the use of “Slasher Phantoms”—ghostly echoes of your previous deaths that replicate your past movements and can be used as shields or distractions, turning failure into an advantage. Combat progression is fueled by bloodshed; as you fight, your “Skull Gauge” fills, unlocking Carnival Awakening, a powerful and monstrous special attack. Players explore seven distinct zones, each themed after a different horror sub-genre and culminating in challenging boss battles that demand both strategy and quick reflexes. Created through a collaboration between acclaimed developers SUDA51 and SWERY, Hotel Barcelona offers a surreal, gore-filled experience that blends single-player roguelike action with online multiplayer modes, including cooperative missions and competitive PvP invasions for up to four players.
