In preparation of Golden Krone Hotel's full release on Thursday, I have pushed one last update. This is mostly polish stuff, but some of it is quite cool!

Bloody sprites

I had never actually drawn sprites for the Demon Blood abilities since they were so rarely seen. That has been corrected (and made less rare). These 10 abilities have also been tuned up and made more fun in general. For example, you can now throw furniture into monsters or monsters into each other and both will be damaged. Other missing icons (e.g. taking stairs) have been added in as well.

I MAKE YOUR SCREEN SHAKE

There's now a subtle screen shake on all attacks. Critical hits have stutter frames too. Both of these make combat feel waaaay more engaging. Feel free to turn up the shakiness!

Grimoire++

Spells can now go to level 4. Once you have a full set of spells, each grimoire is guaranteed to contain a spell you already know, making it easier to level up your spells.

Sunny surprise

I've addressed one common request: a warning to prevent you from getting burnt when travelling between stairs. Requires 'Confirm dangerous moves' option. A bunch of small touches (like new sound effects) have been added and several bugs fixed. Don't miss our release party!

Stutter frames on crits

Release

Indie Strategy RPG Singleplayer

Your mission

You play as Sorina Arobase, a human general made famous for hunting vampires. You're on a mission of revenge to kill Fane, the exiled vampire prince. Armed with your sword, revolver, and spell book, you must battle hordes of blood sucking foes. But first you'll be picking one of 10 disguises that will help you on your journey.

Features

It's a roguelike, really! Turn-based combat, permadeath, and tough as nails gameplay
Fully dynamic lighting. Use sunlight as a weapon or snuff out torches to conceal yourself
A groundbreaking potion identification system that encourages risk taking
Each run requires you to play as both human and vampire, each with different strengths and weaknesses. Humans are frail spellcasters. Vampires are brawlers with super human speed and strength.
Leaderboard and shareable morgue files

Content

10 floors, 9 branches, and 6 bosses
Dozens of unique monsters
40 potions
20 spells
10 classes

Game length

Golden Krone Hotel is what's known as a coffee-break roguelike. A pickup and play style allows for short sessions and the save system lets you stop at any time. Winning runs take about 1-2 hours. Want a longer run? No problem! Just crank up the difficulty setting and attempt to clear all the optional branches.

Amenities

Traditional roguelikes are a ton of fun, but usually come with an alphabet-soup of commands that make them tedious and unintuitive. Golden Krone Hotel has a modern, streamlined interface:

A very small number of controls, all of which are rebindable
Completely playable with either mouse or keyboard
Keypress hints on all buttons to help you learn shortcuts
Tooltips on everything
No inventory management!
Items are picked up automatically and gear is auto-equipped

All of which results in less downtime and faster gameplay.

Before you buy....

Please be aware that, being an Early Access title, Golden Krone Hotel is not finished! It's lacking some of the the content, balance, and polish that will be in the full release. If, however, you're willing to play a game that's still in development and has the occasional bug, then buckle up. It'll be a fun ride.
