Renovation Meets Lovecraftian Horror in There are No Ghosts at the Grand
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Friday Sundae has released a new music video for There are No Ghosts at the Grand, an upcoming genre-blending game that combines daytime hotel renovation with nighttime Lovecraftian horror. A demo is available now on Steam ahead of the 2026 launch.
Cozy management games have a new challenger, and this one trades gentle farming for supernatural mystery and musical numbers. Developer Friday Sundae recently dropped the official music video for Skeleton is in the Closet, a track featuring Marcia Richards of The Skints that highlights the unique atmosphere of their upcoming game, There are No Ghosts at the Grand. Originally showcased via IGN South Africa, the music video leans hard into the quirky vibe of a project that asks players to balance two very different lifestyles.
In the game, you spend your days restoring a fading English hotel, but once the sun goes down, the routine shifts dramatically toward Lovecraftian horror and supernatural encounters. It is a clever genre blend that pairs the satisfying progression loops of renovation sims with a deep narrative full of dark humor and unexpected twists. For a community that loves cozy games with an eccentric edge, this setup hits all the right notes, especially since it features a distinctive musical flair threaded through the entire experience.
Players eager to test out the renovation mechanics will not have to wait for the full release to get their hands dirty. A playable demo is available right now on Steam, giving everyone a chance to sample the gameplay ahead of the official launch in 2026. When the full game drops, it is heading straight to PC and Xbox Series X|S, alongside a day one release on Xbox Game Pass.
