📺 Bloody Hell Hotel Gameplay Released

Bloody Hell Hotel gameplay has been released. The first footage of Bloody Hell Hotel, a dark comedy sandbox sim where you play as a vampire proprietor, has surfaced, showcasing the twisted fun of running a haunted lodging. Players must rebuild a once-grand estate into a thriving hotel while maintaining a delicate balance: feeding on unsuspecting guests just enough to stay in business without scaring them away. The gameplay trailer, released by Unfold Games, highlights base-building mechanics, resource management, and the morbidly humorous interactions between your vampire character and the living patrons in this sandbox horror setting. Whether you're managing staff, decorating gothic suites, or hunting for fresh victims, the video gives a vivid taste of the game's tone and mechanics, setting high expectations among fans of simulation titles. Drawing on my extensive gaming experience, I'm intrigued by how the game blends strategic hotel management with survival horror elements in a uniquely comedic package.
