Hidetaka Suehiro, also known as “Swery,” is a well-known game developer with a reputation for creating unique and unconventional games. His latest project, Death Game Hotel, is a VR multiplayer game that aims to create a safe and inclusive space for players to gather and interact.
In a recent interview, Swery shared his inspiration behind creating Death Game Hotel in VR. He mentioned that the idea stemmed from the COVID-19 pandemic, which limited social interactions and inspired him to create a virtual space where people could come together regardless of physical barriers.
While VR technology may not have reached widespread adoption yet, Swery remains optimistic about its potential for growth. He believes that like any new technology, VR will take time to become a part of everyday life and that the experiences gained from creating Death Game Hotel will be valuable for future projects.
The game features unique elements like dismemberment and self-harm, which may draw inspiration from Swery’s previous works such as The Missing: J.J. Macfield and the Island of Memories. Additionally, there are references to popular media like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure in the gameplay, adding a layer of depth for fans to enjoy.
Looking ahead, Swery plans to expand Death Game Hotel with new mini-games and experiences for both single and multiplayer modes. He also expressed interest in collaborating with other franchises, like JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, to create new and exciting content for players.
In his spare time, Swery enjoys watching shows like Shogun and House of the Dragon, highlighting his diverse interests in media and storytelling.
For fans in America, Swery invites them to join him in Death Game Hotel for a unique multiplayer experience and promises special events and behind-the-scenes content on the official Discord channel. As the game continues to evolve, players can look forward to new updates and features that enhance the overall gameplay experience.
