Sure thing, let’s dive into this. Buckle up, it’s gonna be a bit of a ride.

Alright, so “There Are No Ghosts at the Grand” popped up at the Xbox Games Showcase. Picture this: a bizarre first-person mystery. You’re Chris David, an American chap suddenly owning a run-down hotel in breezy England. How? No clue! But hey, surprise inheritance, right? Anyway — wait, hang on, are you still with me?
By day, you’re jazzing up the hotel with some talking power tools. Yeah, they talk. Don’t ask me why, they just do. Sandblasters, paint sprayers, oh, and a furniture cannon — can you imagine? None of that ‘attention to detail’ stuff. Nah, you splash around some paint, shazam, you’re done. Except, hold on now. After dark, odd stuff creeps around. Walls? Whispers. Floors? Creaking. Like, “Oh, did the furniture just move?”
Only 30 days for this makeover. And trust me, you don’t want time running out unless you fancy meeting whatever’s lurking in the shadows. You’re not all alone, though. Meet Robert C MacBrushy. DIY guru slash ghostbuster. And here’s a kicker: he’s a mix of Star Trek’s Scotty and that annoying paperclip from ancient Word documents. I swear, of all weird crossover ideas…
Let’s meander into the night. Chris, our leading dude, sneaks about digging for clues post-makeover hours. Not to solve some murder mystery — or maybe it is? Seriously, your guess is as good as mine. Just be sure to listen — things go bump in the night. And Robert’s there too, with magical tool modes. Paint sprayers reveal spectral surprises, and, trust me, a well-timed bookcase launched at a ghoul? Surprisingly effective. Who’d have thought?
Now, here’s a twist: the Grand ain’t just haunted by recollections and rickety furniture. There’s this cat, Mr Bones. Ordinary during the day, sarcastic Aussie at night. I mean, really, who comes up with this stuff? But it’s a delightful chaos, and you gotta love a cat with an attitude.
More shenanigans? Enter the village of Kingswood-on-Sea. Classic English coastal vibe but with a side serving of spooky. Weird treasures, rusty scooters — all part of the charm, I guess. But back to the Grand before dusk, cause spooky you know… things crawling from the sea and all.
Ah, the musical bit! Almost forgot. The whole place is a melody-laced mystery — punky, ska vibes. Feel free to belt out verses with the quirky characters you meet. Or smash some furniture mid-song. Options abound.
At the end of all this chaotic rambling — it’s a narrative puzzle with a spritz of comedy and a heaping dose of the weird. If you latch onto the threads, maybe, just maybe, you’ll unearth The Grand’s truth. But watch it, it might just unearth yours.
Heads up, it’s hitting Xbox in 2026. Just… keep an eye on that upholstery.
