There Are No Ghosts at the Grand

About

Inherit a crumbling English hotel and restore it by day—while battling ghosts by night. With a sardonic cat, a talking power tool, and a twisting supernatural plot, this is a musical mystery unlike any other. Will you be able to hold it together while everything around you falls apart?

Story

When Chris David unexpectedly inherits a dilapidated English hotel, he has exactly 30 days and 30 nights to restore the crumbling edifice before it…or something else…claims him. Nothing is as it seems in the hotel- lurking beneath the veneer of paper and paint he applies by day, something horrible shivers and slithers in the night. Don’t believe them when they tell you that there are no ghosts at the Grand.

What is happening now

There Are No Ghosts at the Grand is a music-driven puzzle adventure from developer Friday Sundae that blends RPG elements with an indie sensibility. The game will arrive in early access on Xbox Game Pass and PC in December, marking players' first chance to experience the title after an extended development period. The studio has structured the full release across three chapters, with the early access build launching first and the final chapter expected toward the end of 2026. Recently at Gamescom, the team announced that actor Billy Boyd will voice the character MacBrushy. While the game's episodic rollout means players will experience the story in phases rather than all at once, the December launch finally gives the project a concrete entry point after months of anticipation.
