Restore a rundown cosmic hotel drifting among the stars to its former glory. Entice alien guests from around the galaxy by dreaming up beautifully quirky designs. Craft elegant guest rooms, grand dining halls, and other rooms crucial to keep guests satisfied during their stay. Purchase furniture from visiting merchants or build them from scratch using wood, metal, and other materials.
 

Feed eager guests by cooking meals using berries, plants, and cosmic ingredients scattered throughout the great beyond. Experiment with new dishes, cater to guests’ sophisticated palates and perfect delectable recipes to satisfy even the pickiest eaters.
 

Hire and manage staff to efficiently run the hotel. Drag and drop workers and alert them when to take a guest’s food order, intervene in a petty squabble in the lobby, and stay abreast of messes left behind by carefree visitors. Delight clients by maintaining a reputation of relaxation and cleanliness.
 

Take a reprieve from managing a hotel by exploring an underground complex within the floating island. Become a part of the local ecosystem by growing plants in the hotel’s backyard, and raise a myriad of livestock. Welcome eccentric, alien travelers from across the galaxy, and run the next five-star inn featuring a charming soundtrack and Studio Ghibli-inspired visuals.
 

“Hotel Galactic is a massive step forward for all of us at Ancient Forge,” said Maksymilian Strezelecki, Vice President and Technical Director. “It’s an idea that had been percolating for a couple of years in pre-production, as we took our time to make sure the design and all its constituent parts meshed well to create this beautiful, nostalgic world. The technical demands were substantial, but the end result is a dynamic, immersive experience that I’m proud to share.”
 

“Hotel Galactic is the project that utilizes everything we’ve learned in the last ten years or so,” said Dushan Chaciej, CEO and Creative Director at Ancient Forge. “We aimed to create a wholesome and engaging experience for players that love to watch their simulated little dudes end up in all kinds of weird situations. Personally, I can’t wait to see what the world thinks of what we’ve been working on for the past three years.”
 

Hotel Galactic will host intergalactic guests on PC, Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. Fellow travelers can follow the game’s development through its official Steam store page and support the Kickstarter campaign starting on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, to win exclusive add-ons, assets, and be a part of the game’s Alpha-test group.
