Hotel Barcelona

Hotel Barcelona is a humorous platformer and a parody of the horror genre. It was developed by White Owls and is the result of collaboration between two experienced developers - Hidetaka Suehiro, known as Swery 65, and Goichi Suda, known as Suda 51.

Plot

The protagonist of Hotel Barcelona is stuck in a time loop. The only way out leads through hordes of enemies and hectoliters of spilled blood.

Mechanics

Hotel Barcelona is a side-scroller, tasking the player with moving to the right and mowing down enemy hordes. Our opponents are inspired by popular horror movies, ranging from serial killers, aliens, otherworldly creatures and giant mutated sharks. Combat is fast-paced, requiring constant movement, dodging, blocking, chaining melee attacks into combos and firing away at distant enemies. In-between combat encounters, there's plenty of platforming to be had.

Technical aspects

Hotel Barcelona features simple, though colorful, cartoonish 2.5D visuals. The game is rather violent and gruesome, but in an over-the-top, parodic way.
