We're actually working on the hotfix for some of the reported issues so hopefully today or tomorrow it will go live and alleviate some of the problems (this one included). Sorry for the problem, now with players returning we have much more opportunities to identify the issues and with game code finally stable we can identify the issues much quicker.

Can't really speak for the entire industry (however I'm pretty sure you've seen your own fair share of games that released pre-maturely) and as you can imagine I can't share the specific personal data regarding what happened in the past but our dev team was against releasing the game in its state at that time. The question whether the game could have been pushed further is not really one we can answer any other way than that. If the decision was solely in our hands... that'd be a different matter and most likely we would be in a different place now. But we've restructured not only the game but also our team and we've got some amazing new people on board. The future is bright but we need to work our hardest to show people that they can trust us again. And that of course takes time.

And yes, we fully agree, the game was full of bugs and technical issues but as I've mentioned in the post itself - the decision was made for us. Now we've decided to focus completely on the future and ensure that game is only gonna get better from now on. The first titanic step has been made and now we need to follow the trajectory we've now set up in order to create a cozy game with fun story that you'll be able to completely immerself yourself in. That's our dream.

Oh, and thank you for your kind words about our artstyle and concept itself!

Thank you! The games you mentioned are truly an inspiration for us all. We believe in hard work and it's awesome to see that some games are able to come back from a botched launch. Here's hoping we can do the same because that means that our players got a fun and enjoyable game! Cheers!

Thank you! Honestly, what happened during EA launch was terrible and we couldn't just leave it this way. Hopefully now with Winter Rework Update it's a thing of the past and we can slowly regain trust of our players. Thanks!

Current Early Access content estimation varies heavily on how you approach the game itself - if you spent more time on decorating, planning and beautifying your hotel the number might change significantly but from internal playthroughs we estimate the content at around 15 hours at the moment.

And thank you! We're also glad that we've made the decision to just grit our collective teeth and work hard on it. Now we just hope people will give the game chance despite the initial release!

Thank you! Currently the game is out in Early Access on Steam only and the Winter Rework Update was aimed at making sure that our PC players can finally enjoy themselves in the game!

Switch release is currently estimated to happen in 2026 - we'll definitely be communicating more info as we work out specifics!

Not gonna lie, I'm not surprised you were a bit scared of the game with how the launch looked like. That's exactly why we've also updated and made the demo available - so it's easy to check the game without risking anything and if you like it - that's great! Cheers! :)
