The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Building and defending a hotel while the game procedurally generates music from your actions, creating a playful and chaotic rhythm to the mayhem.

What players say

Players are split on Bad Hotel, with many calling it a frustrating mobile port that feels more like a puzzle than a tower defense due to its limited, pre-set tools and steep difficulty spikes. Some praise its creative concept and hectic pace, but most agree it is short, poorly explained, and its music generator becomes a cacophony during play.
