White Owls Inc has released the first major update for Hotel Barcelona, introducing several gameplay improvements and crucial fixes. Version 1.0.2 focuses primarily on refining combat responsiveness, ensuring that player inputs for attacks and dodges are now registered more consistently, particularly during movement and landing frames.
The patch also addresses a number of technical issues, from unresponsive controls in multiplayer sessions to skill and UI inconsistencies. Additionally, the developers have confirmed that an upcoming update will completely remove AI-assisted elements from the game’s VHS segment, ensuring the experience remains fully handcrafted.
