‘Bizarre’ is a kind of phrases I attempt to keep away from as a result of it normally simply means “I am not going to even try to grasp or unpack the precise factor that is going for”, however supernatural resort renovator There Are No Ghosts At The Grand actually stood out to me this night for a tone that felt fairly singular in a weekend weighed down by soulslikes and shooters. Broadly, it seems to be like your Powerwash Sims and Home Flippers, however with the added wrinkle that neither of the video games function dapper previous gents crooning ska ditties at you. Here is a trailer.
So, yeah: I am into kind of every thing right here. The secrets and techniques and puzzles to unravel between renovations. The ghostbustery multitool. The We Have The Specials At The Resort soundtrack. The Wicker Man reference. The spiders stealing hearth extinguishers and washing machines. It seems to be like a recreation with concepts, principally. And even when some these concepts are distinctly ‘like that different factor’, I dig the best way they have been carried out. Additionally, a kind of concepts is ‘go for a bike experience with a cat’. Info’s a bit scant on this one thus far, however it’s due for a launch someday subsequent yr.
