Perhaps the strangest (that's a compliment) game revealed during this year's Xbox Games Showcase was There Are No Ghosts at the Grand, a first-person hotel-decorating shooter that also happens to be a musical with some Lovecraftian-lite influence.
That's a mouthful, but it also doesn't quite do justice to the strange combination that U.K. developer Friday Sundae is currently cooking up.
During Gamescom 2025, I had the opportunity to see a hands-off gameplay demonstration, with creative director Anil Glendinning sharing a slice of what players get up to as they step into the shoes of protagonist Chris David to focus on restoring the Grand hotel, solving puzzles, and trying to stay alive when pursued by a horde of monsters.
