Join the community Come hang out with us on Discord! About the Game Golden Krone Hotel is a gothic horror roguelike. Fight vampires with sunlight or become a vampire yourself and sneak in the shadows. 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 18 disguises that will help you on your journey. 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 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. Leaderboards, shareable morgue files, and a Weekly challenge Original soundtrack by Christopher Loza 10 main floors and 22 branches Over 90 unique monsters 40 potions 31 spells and 17 vampire abilities 18 classes It's not easy. It's not an action game. While faster paced than other traditional roguelikes, it often requires patience and careful consideration. It's not a long game. This is a coffee-break roguelike. It's no Nethack. It isn't as complex or deep as other roguelikes, nor is it meant to be. There's no skills, no inventory. Magic and items are relatively simple. Instead of these common sources of complexity, Golden Krone Hotel focuses on a handful of innovative mechanics. Select tiles or ASCII 4-way or 8-way movement Three difficulty modes Go for a quick run (1-2 hours) or try to clear all optional branches, including the infinite levels of The Underworld! 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 or controller. Also playable with only the left half of a keyboard by default! 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 

Press reviews: “If you're looking for a thematically strong, clever traditional roguelike, look no further. Top stuff.” Adam Smith (Rock Paper Shotgun) “Best gateway drug into traditional roguelikes!” Epyon (Jupiter Hell, DoomRL) “This is the work of someone who understands not only why roguelikes are such a long-lasting genre but also why they've been mostly stuck in a niche for nearly forty years: by identifying what actually works and separating it from what is just tolerated by inertia, Golden Krone Hotel is all gameplay and no busywork.” eb
