Hot37: A Minimalist Hotel Management Sim That's Easy on the Eyes (and Wallet)
Hot37, a new mobile game from solo developer Blake Harris, offers a streamlined take on the city builder genre, focusing on the simple pleasures of hotel management without the overwhelming complexity. Forget sprawling cities; Hot37 presents a single tower with multiple floors, demanding a careful balance of space, amenities, and finances.
The core gameplay loop is refreshingly straightforward: build rooms, add amenities, and manage your budget. Keep your finances in the black, or face the game over screen! The minimalist design extends to customization, allowing you to decorate and personalize your hotel to your liking, without the fuss of intricate menus or micromanagement.
Simplicity is Key: While Hot37 lacks the extensive features of some city builders (continental breakfast not included!), it excels in its ease of access. It provides a satisfying core loop of building and management without the burden of complex spreadsheets or overwhelming options. A perfect choice for those seeking a premium, micro-transaction-free tycoon experience.
Hot37 is available now on the iOS App Store for $4.99. Give it a try!
