About the Game

You are an Artificial Sentience, a sophisticated AI deployed by the Great Engram Collective, tasked with a unique and perilous mission: transform a derelict, haunted space hotel into a beacon of intergalactic hospitality and a bastion of profit. While the Federation preaches an era of galactic harmony, spectral entities and ancient mysteries stir beneath the surface. It's your circuits-and-code to manage the chaos, cater to a universe of eccentric alien guests, and upgrade your own complex consciousness along the way.

Build Your Interstellar Enterprise

Take command of The Hotel, a massive, customizable spaceship. Utilize advanced Robotics and Research to Renovate and expand, designing everything from luxurious Lodging tailored to six unique alien Factions, to essential Amenities and specialized Action Rooms. Every decision impacts your bottom line and your Hotel's reputation across the cosmos.

Master the Action Hex & Plan Your Shifts

Time is a resource, and Snohe is king. The distinctive Haunted Space Hotel Action Hex dictates your capabilities each Shift. With only so many actions possible, strategic planning across Days is crucial. Will you focus on repairs, guest services, research, or fending off the latest spectral anomaly? Every choice has consequences.

Evolve Your Artificial Mind

As an AI Commander, your own Brain is an upgradeable tech tree with over 2000 points of interest. Invest your hard-earned Snohe (the galaxy's most treasured currency) to unlock new Neurons, enhance your core attributes (Intelligence, Dexterity, Charisma), and gain powerful abilities essential for advanced management and confronting deeper mysteries. Will you prioritize your Hotel's growth or the expansion of your own sentience?

Serve a Universe of Unique Guests

From the scientifically-minded Deep to the spiritually-inclined Honored, the hive-minded Hex to the pragmatic Dread, the collective Stem to the ancient Seed, your guests are as diverse as the galaxy itself. Attend to their needs, extract valuable Miysst to power your operations (by creating Batteries), and reap the rewards of satisfied patrons. But beware – disgruntled guests can cause significant... complications, from property damage to raiding your precious Snohe Vaults.

Confront the Spectral Unknown

The "Haunted" in Haunted Space Hotel isn't just for show. Ghosts are a reality, hitchhiking on guest ships, manifesting during Ley Lane travel, and generally making a mess of things. Deploy Ghost Handlers, utilize your Ley Lumen (a device capable of revealing spectral entities) to perceive these entities, and delve into the Ancient Mysteries surrounding their origin and the "Little Girl" protocol. But remember, direct communication with spectral entities is strictly forbidden... for a reason.

Coordinated Sentience: Multi-Commander Protocols

Team up with up to 3 other Commanders in full 4-player co-op to tackle the spectral crisis together! Work collaboratively to manage The Hotel, cater to Factions, and confront the haunting mysteries of the Ley Lanes.
