Bloody Hell Hotel Is a First-Person Horror Game... That's Also a Stardew Valley-Like Management Sim

ign.com:

IGN can exclusively reveal Bloody Hell Hotel, a game that sees you playing a vampire setting up a hotel business, then feasting on the guests (not to mention farming, dungeon crawling, and more).

Led by Wlad Marhulets (creator of indie horror Darq) and backed by talent with experience on the likes of Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Baldur's Gate 3 and Disney movies, the team is aiming to make "the most ambitious first-person simulation game in existence." Think of it as a first-person Stardew Valley... except you can eat all the villagers.

It's certainly a unique pitch. The game casts you as a vampire who has awoken from a centuries-long coma, finding their once-grand estate in ruins. You're then tasked with rebuilding it as a hotel, with full control over room placement, decor, and upgrades (with many choices affecting gameplay). That rebuild is helped along in a number of ways, including farming, dungeon crawling and, of course, earning money from guests.

The extra twist is that you can also automate parts of the hotel management by using vampiric powers, gained by consuming blood – meaning your guests are a resource in more ways than one. As your hotel grows you can also hire other vampires as staff. In return for money and blood, they can work on reception, as cooks, cleaners, and more.

Farming takes place under the hotel, and utilises crops and zombie animals. "As with every system in the game," explains Marhulets, "tasks can be performed manually or be semi-automated with the use of vampiric powers that the player unlocks as they level up."

You can use farmed goods in recipes, which can range from wild mushrooms you find in the hotel, to zombie meat meals farmed from dungeons. And
