“The Boss is part Hitman, part Dexter Morgan. He's certainly an unconventional and unusual character. The hotel that we are going to manage is something completely unique. Our inspirations include hotels known from The Shining and John Wick films, but also Arkham, known from the Batman universe " , says Piotr Rycąbel, senior programmer at RG Crew.

In PsyHotel Simulator, the player will manage the hotel and fulfill orders involving the liquidation of certain customers. The developers indicate that it is best to know the background and habits of the target, before carefully planning their termination.

"We'll be offering a lot of freedom in our game. You'll be able to take out targets almost blatantly, but you might as well set up a sophisticated trap or make it all look like an unfortunate accident." The game will also feature, among other things, a simple crafting system and a wide range of possibilities to expand and modernize your crazy hotel, ”adds Piotr Rycąbel.

The game is scheduled for release on PC (Steam) in the first quarter of 2021. The release is also expected to appear on Nintendo Switch, and the publisher is not ruling out the possibility that the game will also launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.
