City builders are beloved for their engaging gameplay that lets you construct and manage from scratch, a concept that appeals universally. Hot37, the new minimalist hotel builder from solo developer Blake Harris, strips away the complexity to deliver pure, enjoyable gameplay.
In Hot37, you focus on a single tower with multiple floors to develop. The challenge lies in balancing space, amenities, and finances. Keep your books in the green and manage disturbances effectively, as running out of money ends the game.
The game simplifies the city/hotel building experience to its essence, providing ample opportunities for redecorating and customizing your ideal hotel without the typical fussiness of the genre.
But is there a continental breakfast? Hot37 embraces a super minimalist approach. While we can't speak to the quality, a quick look suggests it offers all the essential management and building features without overwhelming you with spreadsheets. Although genre purists might find it too simple, if you're seeking a micro-transaction-free premium game to satisfy your tycoon cravings, Hot37 could be the perfect fit.
You can find Hot37 on the iOS App Store for $4.99 at the time of writing, so give it a try!
