Frictional Games Teases Mysterious New Horror Project "Samsara Hotel"

Frictional Games, the acclaimed studio behind chilling titles like Penumbra, Amnesia, and SOMA, is gearing up to unveil its next project. All signs point to another dive into the horror genre, as evidenced by a cryptic new teaser featuring ominous locations and unsettling audio.

The first hints of the upcoming game were cleverly hidden within a September patch for SOMA. Resourceful players quickly deciphered the clues, leading them to a website for a fictional establishment known as the 'Samsara Hotel'. It appears this eerie locale will serve as the primary setting for the studio's new title.

The website itself offers little concrete information, instead presenting a tantalizing promotional message: 'Discover the splendor of the Samsara Hotel. Since time immemorial, humanity has dreamed of the stars and what lies beyond them. Now LuxuryNext is ready to make that dream a reality. Introducing the Samsara Hotel. A place like no other. A promise like no other. Exclusive. Luxurious. At Samsara, desires come true.'

Currently, visitors to the Samsara Hotel website can only sign up for a newsletter. The first email sent to subscribers has revealed that Kepler Interactive will be handling publishing duties for the mysterious project. While a full announcement is still pending, fans of Frictional Games' unique brand of psychological horror have plenty to speculate about. The blend of cosmic ambition and luxurious, yet unsettling, promises suggests a rich and terrifying experience awaits, further solidifying Frictional Games' reputation as masters of fear.
