Check out the title’s description:
Showdown at Hotel Barcelona!
Evil serial killers from across the United States have been gathered at a luxury hotel located on the Pennsylvania-West Virginia border near Pittsburgh…
Justine is a rookie federal marshal with an insane serial killer called Dr. Carnival living inside her. Can she exterminate all evil serial killers and escape this cursed hotel?! Find out in this 2.5D horror film parody action game!
Battle alongside your past selves!
Even if enemy frenzied attacks manage to kill you once, you can’t give up. Each time you die and restart the mission, you’ll gain another past version of yourself…
These illusions, known as Slasher Phantoms, will replicate your actions from prior runs—but they can also deal damage and act as decoys, letting you cooperate with your past selves to survive mission after insane mission!
The more blood you bathe in, the stronger you become!
As you carve through enemies and bathe in their blood, your abilities strengthen… but blood dryness drains power over time, demanding constant aggression. Monitor the skull meter at screen’s bottom: at peak bloodbath saturation, unleash the powerful “Carnival Awakening” super attack!
Robust boss battles across seven themed locations!
Within Hotel Barcelona lie seven distinct areas, each themed around a different horror movie… and the serial killers lurking within won’t go down without fierce fights! Study their unique traits and utilize all skills at your disposal to slaughter these vile monsters!
Hotel Barcelona will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam in 2024.
