Hotel Barcelona is very early in development, with not even a logo yet. (Suda 51 will create one next week, with Swery65 brainstorming more ideas.) However, the duo has already talked to Devolver Digital about the project and been given about a 100 million yen budget. (This would translate to about one million dollars.) The game would be a horror title, with the Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia, and mobile devices mentioned as possible platforms they would like. Swery65 mentioned wanting it to be suspenseful, while Suda 51 said he mentioned more gory sorts of horror.
In Hotel Barcelona, which would be set in a hotel but maybe not in Barcelona, people would follow a journalist covering a new establish when things begin going wrong. Fans might be able to help inspire characters, who will be employees and other guests, and the journalist might end up turning out to be evil. Again, everything is still in a very tentative stage.
