Man, where to begin with this one? So there’s this funky game called “There Are No Ghosts at the Grand.” Weird mix, right? Imagine renovating an old, creaky seaside hotel – everyday, you’re patching up walls with these chatty power tools. Trust me, these tools have more personality than some people I know.
But, oh, the twist! As the sun sets, you’re ghost hunting. A night shift gig with furniture cannon blasts and paint splashes revealing otherworldly guests. Picture it like Mary Poppins gone rogue with a jackhammer. Seriously.
You’re this dude, Chris David, who inherits a hotel that’s, let’s say, seen better days. He’s got 30 days and nights to spruce it up. It’s not a lineup for HGTV though, more like a ‘get it done fast before something creepy comes for you’ scenario. I mean, who comes up with this stuff?
And right alongside you is Robert C MacBrushy, the AI buddy who’s somehow both genius and… exactly like that annoying little paperclip from back in the day. He’s solid with DIY tips and, weirdly, knows a thing or two about ghosts. Handy, right?
The nights? Oh, they’re something else. Chris isn’t here just to renovate – he’s digging for clues. Old blueprints, bizarre doors, and mysterious marks that suggest something crawly lives in the hotel. Those paintings on the walls? They’re more than just decor.
And let’s not forget Mr. Bones, the cat. By day, he’s like any cat craving belly rubs. By night, he turns all chatty, Australian accent and all, spilling secrets about the hotel. Is he trustworthy? Eh, hard to say.
The game’s got all these quirky characters – a caretaker, the mayor, a cop – they all jam out with, get this, individual songs. Not just background tracks, but stuff you’d find on your dad’s old ska and punk records. It’s almost like a karaoke showdown with puzzles.
Beyond hotel walls lies Kingswood-on-Sea, the town. You can explore it, find treasures, restore a rusty scooter, or fish up old keepsakes. But, time it right; come nightfall, things lurking in the ocean start creeping onshore. Spooky, right?
So, what’s it all about? This game’s for those who don’t mind a bit of chaos. It’s a mix of humor and chills, wrapped in a mystery. There’s truth to uncover, if the hotel doesn’t unearth your secrets first. The Grand awaits, just make sure you keep an eye on that upholstery. Who knows what stories it’s hiding?
