No Ghosts at the Grand: Daytime Renovations, Nighttime Ghost Hunts

Alright, so picture this: There’s this game, “There Are No Ghosts at the Grand”—name’s a bit misleading, huh? It’s like this mashup of a haunted hotel repair gig and ghost-busting saga, set on a dreary English coast. I know, sounds kind of out there, right? But hang on, let me try to paint a picture.

You’re Chris, some American dude who suddenly owns a rundown seaside hotel. You’re not exactly thanking your lucky stars here. Each day you’re slapping on paint with power tools that… can talk? Yup, they chat with you as you battle busted wallpaper and dusty carpets. But here’s the catch: by night, the whole vibe flips on its head. You’re not just fixing floors—you’re kinda creeping around, on a ghost hunt. Ghosts? Maybe. Or maybe just your imagination going wild. Ain’t life grand?

So, you’ve got 30 days, 30 nights to jazz up this creaky building. Get this, you’re armed with gizmos like furniture cannons and sand blasters. Practical? Probably not, but who cares? Just make it fun and fast—precision isn’t exactly on the menu, and hey, success is all in the eye of the beholder.

Oh, and meet MacBrushy. He’s this sort of weird DIY virtual assistant who mixes Star Trek vibes with the charm of, well, a paperclip? His chatter might drive you crazy, or maybe he’ll save your skin—depends on who you ask.

And nights? They’re wild. Chris isn’t just a fixer-upper—there’s secrets buried in the walls, quite literally. Unravel them like you’re some sort of detective in overalls. The hotel breathes and shifts, and not everything that moves can be seen. Oddly poetic, or maybe that’s just me rambling a bit. Can’t shake off this feeling that something… not quite right is lurking about.

Robert C. MacBrushy doesn’t vanish into thin air come sundown, either. Those tools? Dual purpose. Use them to face off with whatever ghoulish presence decides to show up. A vacuum for spirits? Sure, why not. Paint sprayer turns into an invincible-maniac-detector. Sometimes chucking a bookcase at a spook works wonders. Go figure.

Oh, meet Kingswood-on-Sea, the hotel’s artsy neighbor. It’s quirky, offbeat. Feel like an adventurous stroll? This town’s full of surprises, hidden nooks, and iffy shops. Fix up old scooters or boats, or maybe not—point being, you’ve got options.

Characters you’ll meet are as eclectic as expected. A sarcastic cat named Mr. Bones, who possibly has a PhD in sarcasm and hotel lore, narrates in this thick Aussie accent. I mean, what’s not to love? Each townie’s got a song to sing—literally. It’s kind of a musical… but not in an “I’ve got sunshine…” kind of way. More ska-punk meets haunted harmony.

You’ll dive into this tangled narrative that blends music with mystery, leaving you wondering if you’re fixing a hotel or unraveling a family prophecy. It’s like peeling an onion—with ghosts. Hey, sometimes you laugh, sometimes you get spooked. It’s all part of the ride.

Wrap it up? “There Are No Ghosts at the Grand” lands on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Game Pass in 2026. Something about it feels familiar yet oddly novel—a haunted mystery and spirited adventure. Just watch your back with those cushion covers—they might just be plotting against you. Who knew upholsteries had it out for you?
