Welcome to Hotel Galactic
Ancient Forge, the indie studio behind The Tenants, has launched Hotel Galactic on Steam Early Access. This hand-painted, story-driven simulation game is now available on the platform for just $34.99. Set in a dreamy, floating cosmic island, it invites players to build and manage their very own interstellar tourist retreat.
Additionally, the developer also released a new launch trailer, showcasing the game’s distinctive art style and core mechanics. Check it out yourself right below.
Blending a rich narrative with imaginative gameplay, Hotel Galactic offers two distinct experiences. In story mode, players can immerse themselves in a whimsical tale of redemption, friendship, and kindness. Those who prefer a more open-ended approach can dive into sandbox mode, where creativity takes center stage.
The game features modular building mechanics, allowing players to design intricate, towering hotels that defy architectural norms. As the hotel grows, players must carefully balance resources, improve efficiency, and manage staff to keep their guests happy. Each decision influences the hotel’s success and the overall experience of the colony.
To mark the Early Access launch, Ancient Forge has also released a special webcomic exploring the backstory of Marietta, one of the central characters in the game. This prequel story offers fans a deeper look into the universe of Hotel Galactic and sets the tone for the emotional journey ahead.
With its charming visuals, heartfelt storytelling, and strategic depth, Hotel Galactic promises a unique twist on the simulation genre, and it is just getting started.
