Padge Plays! YOLO Edition: Golden Krone Hotel - A Gothic Horror Roguelike - Cultist Constume Run
4Welcome to Padge Plays! YOLO Edition
This time around we're on a mission to take down a vampire prince, (or maybe even turn in to one) in the game Golden Krone Hotel by Vulgat!
Golden Krone Hotel is a roguelike with a gothic horror setting where you, a human general by the name of Sorina Arobase are hunting an exiled vampire prince called Fane within the procedurally generated hotel filled with vampires, ghouls, (some) friendly humans and even crocodiles! (You'll see...) We must navigate our way through several floors in the hope to take down the evil vampire master... or maybe we'll become a vampire our self!
In this episode with us having a mediocre run with the vagabond disguise we move on to the cultist, someone who you would think being nearer the dark side would fair better than any of the truer hero disguises we have played previously... but I'll show them! It's also becoming more apparent that we need to go in to some of these wings in order to find at least 4 rings in order to open up going past floor 8 so there's that to consider too. See, I learning!!
So join me as we face off against the dark side in Golden Krone Hotel!
-- ABOUT THIS GAME --
Golden Krone Hotel is a gothic horror roguelike. Fight vampires with sunlight or become a vampire yourself and sneak in the shadows.
You play as Sorina Arobase, a human general made famous for hunting vampires. You're on a mission of revenge to kill Fane, the exiled vampire prince. Armed with your sword, revolver, and spell book, you must battle hordes of blood sucking foes. But first you'll be picking one of 18 disguises that will help you on your journey...
- Features -
Turn-based combat, permadeath, and tough as nails gameplay
Fully dynamic lighting. Use sunlight as a weapon or snuff out torches to conceal yourself
A ground breaking potion identification system that encourages risk taking
Each run requires you to play as both human and vampire, each with different strengths and weaknesses. Humans are frail spellcasters. Vampires are brawlers with super human speed and strength.
leaderboards, shareable morgue files, and a Weekly challenge
Original soundtrack by Christopher Loza

- What It Isn't -
It's not easy.
It's not an action game. While faster paced than other traditional roguelikes, it often requires patience and careful consideration.
It's not a long game. This is a coffee-break roguelike. It's no Nethack.
It isn't as complex or deep as other roguelikes, nor is it meant to be. There's no skills, no inventory. Magic and items are relatively simple. Instead of these common sources of complexity, Golden Krone Hotel focuses on a handful of innovative mechanics.
- Play Your Way -
Select tiles or ASCII
4-way or 8-way movement
Three difficulty modes
Go for a quick run (1-2 hours) or try to clear all optional branches, including the infinite levels of The Underworld!
- Amenities -
Traditional roguelikes are a ton of fun, but usually come with an alphabet-soup of commands that make them tedious and unintuitive. Golden Krone Hotel has a modern, streamlined interface:
A very small number of controls, all of which are re-bindable
Completely playable with either mouse or keyboard or controller. Also playable with only the left half of a keyboard by default!
Keypress hints on all buttons to help you learn shortcuts
Tooltips on everything
No inventory management!
Items are picked up automatically and gear is auto-equipped

In this series I will be playing some well known and less well known games all the way from yesteryear through to the present, sometimes from consoles and sometimes from the thousands of PC games available either through websites such as Steam, Good Old Games (GOG), as abandonware, (Home of the Underdogs) or through emulation software. (Such as WinVice C64)
