Suda51 and Swery65 Are Planning a Horror Game

As announced during a recent IGN Japan live stream, game developers Suda51 and Swery65 are planning to make a horror game together.

For a long time, I frequently got the two of them mixed up due to the similarity of the names and their reputation for making “weird” games, but that doesn’t happen much now that I’m more familiar with their work.

Suda51 is the man behind games such as The Silver Case, which I reviewed last year, Killer7, Shadows of the Damned, and the No More Heroes series. Swery65 is the man behind Deadly Premonition, Dark Dreams Don’t Die, and The Missing, which I reviewed for MonsterVine, as well as The Good Life, which we’ve discussed before.

(So they’re responsible for a bunch of games that I’ve either played or want to play in the future, especially if they get re-releases, *cough*No More Heroes*cough*.)

Anyway, the two are teaming up to develop a horror game tentatively titled Hotel Barcelona, potentially about a magazine writer visiting a hotel. They want the game to be “light and easy to play,” and possibly involve multiple timelines that will be pieced together for the narrative, as well as multiple protagonists.

Keiichiro Toyama might also join them for this project. He is the creator of the Siren series, as well as the original Silent Hill.

During the live stream, they said Devolver Digital would be publishing the game, but Devolver later tweeted that the game had yet to be pitched to them.

Hotel Barcelona is clearly still in the earliest days of its development, with concepts for the game still being worked out, but the names behind it are enough to have it intrigued. Here’s hoping we’ll be discussing Hotel Barcelona in more detail sometime in the future!
