London, UK - 12th June, 2025 - To celebrate the debut of HOTEL BARCELONA's playable demo during Steam Next Fest (running now through Monday, June 16, 18:00 BST), CULT Games is challenging players to beat the demo's sadistic first boss, Jacob, and rewarding one lucky slayer with a truly killer prize: a custom-made varsity jacket signed by creators SUDA51 (Romeo is a Dead Man, No More Heroes) and SWERY (Deadly Premonition, D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die).
Stylish, exclusive, and drenched in madness (but not actual blood), this is the only jacket of its kind. Ever. We're not giving any more signed jackets away. You can't buy it. You've got to bleed for it.
How to enter:
- Play the HOTEL BARCELONA demo (available on Steam for a limited time).
- Defeat Boss Jacob.
- Post a screenshot of your victory in the Steam Community Hub's Discussion section with the hashtag #BeatBossJacob.
Entries close Monday, June 16 at 18:00 BST / 17:00 UTC. The winner will be announced Friday, June 21.
Check out the brand new trailer introducing the serial killer inside your head - the infamous and unrelenting DR. CARNIVAL.
It's part action, part roguelite, part fever dream. HOTEL BARCELONA is a side-scrolling bloodbath brought to you by two of Japan's most iconic cult game creators, SWERY (Deadly Premonition, D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die) and SUDA51 (Romeo is a Dead Man, No More Heroes). A love letter to American horror movies, you'll check in, die repeatedly, and maybe, just maybe, figure out what the hell is going on inside this slashcore purgatory hotel.
The demo vanishes after Steam Next Fest. You've got until Monday to get a blood-soaked taste of what's coming (and trust us, this is just the tip of the carnage). #BeatBossJacob and you could walk away with the only jacket of its kind. #BeatBossJacob
Think you've got what it takes? Check in. Wipe 'em out. (Claim the jacket.)
