'Hotel Galactic', a hotel management simulation game inspired by Studio Ghibli animations, launched into early access on Steam on the 25th.

'Hotel Galactic' tells the story of rebuilding a hotel under the guidance of your late grandfather, Gustav, who has become a ghost. In story mode, players can experience a fairytale-like narrative dealing with themes of atonement, friendship, and kindness, while sandbox mode allows for the expression of free creativity.

The game utilizes a modular building system to construct vast and unique structures on a floating space island. It is crucial to optimize the hotel layout to ensure smooth operations and provide an unforgettable experience for guests. To achieve this, players must strategically manage resources, train staff, and adapt to the changing needs of guests as the hotel grows.

Players can freely build and decorate rooms. You must manage a variety of guests and staff, hire new employees, and consider their traits to improve hotel services. You can also develop new dishes and recipes to provide special flavors to guests, and gather materials for crafting to expand the hotel.

Overall, the warm art style inspired by Ghibli animations stands out. You can feel the Ghibli-esque sensibility while designing and customizing every aspect of the hotel. You will meet a cast of unique colleagues, staff, and guests, including the ghost of your grandfather. Each character possesses unique abilities and traits, and staff can pass down their knowledge and skills across generations. You can befriend guests, listen to their stories, and make the hotel feel like a true home.

'Hotel Galactic' is currently available on Steam for 37,500 KRW. The early access period is expected to last about 1 to 2 years, and the full version is planned to include the complete three-act main story, over 6 types of custom VIP visitors, and 12 types of alien species (serving as both guests and staff). However, it does not currently support the Korean language.
