There Are No Ghosts at the Grand's indie developer "always tried to follow where the fun was," and a delightfully weird Steam demo proves it's on the right track

A cat on the front basket of a bike, which is riding down a road towards a strange purple sky.

Play the Steam demo for There Are No Ghosts at the Grand, and you'll fall in love. I certainly did. A great sense of humor, big dollops of originality, awesome music, a (talking) cat that you can pet, demonic furniture that tries to kill you… what more could you possibly ask for?

You play as Chris David, an American who inherits a hotel in far-from-great condition in an English village. Although people want to convince you that there truly are no ghosts at the Grand, there's reason to believe that you're being served pork pies here; and I'm talking about cockney rhyming slang rather than the savory English treat.
