There Are No Ghosts At The Grand
Wander about the gameplay out there for There Are No Ghosts At The Grand and give the demo for There Are No Ghosts At The Grand a try
It is time to start trying to clean things up again in There Are No Ghosts At The Grand with some new gameplay. New gameplay that not only gives us all a little more to tap our toes to in this musical, Lovecraftian, renovation title that Friday Sundae is working on for the Xbox Series X|S and PC, but it also gives us a deeper look at the rest of the action we will have to partake in. Especially as it looks like we are not going to be confined to a single property in There Are No Ghosts At The Grand, and will have to touch up the town. All of this while hunting down some ghost stories, and that is just for starters. Let us have a look and a listen to what is about to go down in all of this when the game is ready for us.
In addition to having to renovate the hotel in There Are No Ghosts At The Grand, we are going to need to help Chris in the game as he needs to renovate a section of the town as well. There is something dark about the area, and this looks like how we are going to be uncovering all of those extra little stories out there. Not to mention that the residents seem to have some darkness that needs to be cleansed from them, too. All of this made harder in There Are No Ghosts At The Grand, as we are only going to have thirty days in-game to do all of this. Such a way to drive the replay factor of it all, as there is no indication if we are going to be able to do everything all in one shot. Although I am certain that many of the speedrunners out there will figure out how to do that shortly after the game launches, even if there should not be a way to do it. Have a look and get ready for it all with a new demo that dropped at the same time.
There Are No Ghosts At The Grand — Gameplay
Friday Sundae has released a brand new trailer for There Are No Ghosts At The Grand, following its reveal during the ID@Xbox Indie Showcase.
The trailer showcases new gameplay features from the studio’s upcoming musical, Lovecraftian renovation game, including open-world restoration, night-time supernatural investigations, and hidden ghost stories. It also reveals the 30 in-game days and nights players have to restore the Grand Hotel, explore the surrounding village, and uncover the truth behind its increasingly strange history.
In There Are No Ghosts At The Grand, players take on the role of Chris David, an American who unexpectedly inherits a crumbling English seaside hotel. By day, Chris must renovate the Grand and help restore the surrounding village of Kingswood-on-Sea. By night, those same locations begin to reveal something stranger beneath the wallpaper, broken windows, and fading paint.
The new trailer shows how players can roam beyond the hotel into a small open world, discovering broken-down shops and buildings in need of repair. These spaces can be renovated and decorated using the game’s renovation tools, including the sandblaster, paint sprayer, and furniture cannon, with some restorations unlocking ghost stories, hidden memories, and secrets contained within the buildings themselves.
The trailer also offers a new look at the game’s nighttime investigations. As the sun goes down, players use their talking power tools to search for clues, investigate eerie locations such as the village church, and begin to unravel the supernatural mystery at the heart of the game. Renovation tools take on a second life after dark, becoming part of the player’s ghost-hunting arsenal as the game shifts from cosy restoration to something far more supernatural.
The trailer also reveals more about the game’s 30-day and 30-night structure. Players must choose how to spend their limited time, balancing renovation, exploration, relationships, and investigation as the mystery tightens around the player, the Grand Hotel, and the townspeople who seem to know more than they are saying.
The trailer features “Skeletons in the Closet”, an original song performed by Marcia Richards of The Skints, who voices the character Lily in the game. The track is one of more than ten original songs featured in There Are No Ghosts At The Grand, where each key character has their own musical story waiting to be uncovered.
There Are No Ghosts At The Grand is a narrative-rich exploration game with renovation gameplay, supernatural mystery, musical storytelling, and a small open world set in a fading English seaside town. Players will renovate by day, hunt ghosts by night, and discover why everyone keeps insisting that There Are No Ghosts At The Grand.
Will you be able to do everything that There Are No Ghosts At The Grand has to offer in the thirty days, or will that be the thing that gets you to come back to the game many times over? Will we be able to change the full town out there, or will that be limited in some way as we make our way through the story? How do you feel about the talking cat and tools in the game, and will that add more of the comedy that we have seen from the title so far? Let us have it all out in the comment section down the page here. We know there is still more to come for There Are No Ghosts At The Grand, and it will be on the website and our social channels as soon as we are able to get it all out there. Please follow along with all of that so you do not miss out on any of the fun that we have to offer up.
