I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately — we have plenty of survival horror games and plenty of management sims, but I haven’t really seen anything focused specifically on managing a creepy, haunted hotel.
Imagine the loop: checking in guests, cleaning rooms, fixing elevators… all while dealing with paranormal entities or some dark secret behind the hotel's success.
You’d have to balance guest satisfaction with the constant threat of them being eaten by whatever is lurking in the basement. Or, who knows, maybe you’re the one setting the traps?
Does this sound like a gameplay loop you’d be into? And do you know any titles that already scratch this itch?
