Mastering Hospitality: The Art and Agony of Hotel Architect

A New Standard in Hotel Management Simulations

Hotel Architect, currently available in early access, invites players to step into the shoes of a hotel owner and architect, blending creative freedom with the relentless pace and pressure of real world hospitality management. The game offers two primary modes: a structured career campaign and a more open ended sandbox experience. In both, you’re tasked with transforming rundown buildings or empty plots into thriving hotel empires, all while managing the unpredictable demands of guests, staff, and critics.
From the very first moments, Hotel Architect impresses with its vibrant, cartoon inspired graphics and a soothing soundtrack that sets a welcoming, cozy atmosphere. The visual style is inviting, and the use of bright colors and playful animations gives the game a distinct personality a sense of “soul” that’s often missing in more sterile management sims. This charm is further amplified by the game’s attention to detail in both décor and guest interactions.

Death, Decisions, and Dynasty: Exploring The Succession of Changing Kings

A Kingdom on the Brink: Setting the Stage

The Succession of Changing Kings places you in the fraught shoes of a monarch presiding over a crumbling realm.

This blend of grim stakes and levity creates a unique atmosphere, making the kingdom feel both lived in and unpredictable. It’s a rare balance that keeps you invested in the fate of your monarch, even as you brace yourself for the next disaster.
