It’s no secret that Cobra Kai has been a big hit since it released on YouTube Red (now YouTube Premium) back in 2018, as the Karate Kid reboot surprisingly managed to rack up numbers that could rival the big shows from streaming services like Netflix at the time.

A new game was recently announced that’s almost too odd not to share. The game’s name is PsyHotel and its announcement trailer is incredibly bizarre. In PsyHotel, players take on the role of a hotel manager that plays host to a variety of psychopathic criminals.
