Frictional Games, a developer of the horror games of Penumbra, Amnesia and Living Brain Cells, is previewing a new work—yes, as you might expect, this new work looks extremely weird.

The video clip called "Frictional_Next_Project.mp4" released on YouTube yesterday is actually the climax of an alternative reality game - the game began with a small update of "Living Brain Cells" last week.According to the patch notes, the patch released on September 22 "fixed a faulty spam filter on Simon's computer" and warned that "users may still receive suspicious emails due to problems with the treemail 0.1 filtering program."

Players immediately began to check Simon's email address and soon discovered a link to hotelsamsara.com - a website that claims to be "a brand new investment opportunity that can bring extraordinary experiences."

“Since ancient times, humanity has dreamed of exploring the stars and the unknowns farther away,” the website reads. “Now, LuxuryNext is ready to fulfill this promise. It is a grand launch of Hotel Samsara. A unique place. An unparalleled promise. Exclusive customization. Luxury and exclusive. In the cycle of reincarnation, a wish will come true.”

Just like all the usual operations of alternative reality games, more puzzles appear later, and finally this trailer for the ending of the game:

“Thank you so much for participating in this 'little' journey we have been through together,” Frictional and Kepler Interactive Entertainment said. “We really want to create something interesting to show you the project we are developing. What we didn’t expect was that your ability as a community to work together to solve all the puzzles we have thrown together has impressed us. Frankly, when we realized that the team of players we are facing was so large, we had to increase the difficulty of the puzzles, so please applaud yourself.”

"We were so happy to see everyone solve every puzzle, create top memes and jokes in the circle. This time was very enjoyable. Every morning I woke up and looked at Discord with anticipation, wondering what new dilemmas you were in. I hope you enjoy this process as much as we do."

All the games Frictional previously released on Steam were self-released, so Kepler Interactive Entertainment's participation is very interesting - the publisher's games include "Light and Shadow: Expedition Team 33", "Master" and "Supernatural Motorcycle", which are quite good in any case.However, the more pressing question is obviously: What exactly is this about?

I can't give an answer to this.The website of the Reincarnation Hotel shows the scenes that appeared in the trailer video, as well as the most vocal praises of LuxuryNext and a man named Felix - this person is obviously touted as a financial genius that cannot be missed; the trailer video itself has a bit of "Bioshock" style, and its core context is obviously "new luxury toward extreme distortion."And, yes, that's blood.That must be blood, right?

Some Reddit users think they found one or two clues related to "Living Brain Cells" in the trailer video, but in my opinion, these clues are quite far-fetched.Someone also found a hidden message in the audio section of the video, but the message has nothing to do with the upcoming game - it's just a funny little easter egg.(And I have confirmed that this message does exist.)

Solemnly, Frictional has not announced any time plan for its new game.
