A 2.5D slasher platformer created by Swery 65 and Suda 51. Hotel Barcelona's protagonist is stuck in a time loop, the only way out leading through torrents of spilled blood.
Hotel Barcelona is a humorous platformer and a parody of the horror genre. It was developed by White Owls and is the result of collaboration between two experienced developers - Hidetaka Suehiro, known as Swery 65, and Goichi Suda, known as Suda 51.
The protagonist of Hotel Barcelona is stuck in a time loop. The only way out leads through hordes of enemies and hectoliters of spilled blood.
Hotel Barcelona is a side-scroller, tasking the player with moving to the right and mowing down enemy hordes. Our opponents are inspired by popular horror movies, ranging from serial killers, aliens, otherworldly creatures and giant mutated sharks. Combat is fast-paced, requiring constant movement, dodging, blocking, chaining melee attacks into combos and firing away at distant enemies. In-between combat encounters, there's plenty of platforming to be had.
Hotel Barcelona features simple, though colorful, cartoonish 2.5D visuals. The game is rather violent and gruesome, but in an over-the-top, parodic way.

Game Ratings for Hotel Barcelona Video Game.
Impulsegamer: 3 / 5
Hotel Barcelona delivers a wild, stylish, and often thrilling experience, blending the best of SUDA51 and Swery65's chaotic sensibilities with clever mechanics, gorgeous visuals, and an audacious sense of humor. Its combat is fun, its world is memorable, and its story, though flawed at times, is engaging in all the right ways. However, the game's brevity and underused mechanics leave it feeling like it's missing a larger piece of the puzzle, hinting at the potential for something far greater. Playing through it feels like being promised a full-course steak dinner, only to get a quick salad, a bite of steak with some potatoes, and then being rushed out before dessert. The pieces are there, and what you taste is good, but the meal ends just as it starts to get satisfying. Fans of offbeat, over-the-top action-horror with a cerebral twist will find much to enjoy here, while those expecting a fully realized roguelite epic may leave wanting just a bit more. Nevertheless, for those who revel in the bizarre, the bloody, and the brilliant, Hotel Barcelona provides a uniquely satisfying experience that rewards exploration, experimentation, and repeated play, even if it occasionally teases more than it delivers.
TechRaptor: 6 / 10 by Joseph Allen
Hotel Barcelona is plenty weird enough for an overnight jaunt, but it's too janky and stiff to recommend an extended stay.
