Hotel Tales DLC Catalog
Every launch-week add-on on Steam — prices, app IDs, and when to buy bundles vs singles.
After the July 31, 2026 launch, Steam lists multiple Hotel Tales add-ons beside the base game (app 3413800). Collectors often confuse Deluxe Edition bundles with à-la-carte DLC and the still-unreleased story expansion. This catalog lists verified launch-week packages, typical USD store prices, and which wiki page to read next. Prices and discounts change — confirm the live Steam cart before purchase. Introductory -10% framing on the base game ran roughly through August 14, 2026.

À-la-carte notes
Animations Pack & Artbook
Deep pages already cover access paths (local Animations and Artbook folders). Read Animations Pack and Artbook DLC before buying both separately — Deluxe usually wins on math if you want everything.
Wallpapers Pack (4082170)
Desktop images from hotel art. No gameplay impact. Useful if you want OS wallpapers without the full Deluxe cart.
Skins Pack (4082180)
Cosmetic outfits extending presentation in wardrobe systems. Pair with Wardrobe & Skins and Cards & Outfits. Does not replace route unlocks.
Soundtrack (4082190)
Official music package. Check Steam Music library or game folder after install. Great for fans of spa/disco motifs from Mini-Games.
Comics Vol.1 & Vol.2 (3669340 / 4655580)
Short comic DLCs expanding Nikki-centered curse lore and parallel relationship beats. Deluxe includes both volumes; à-la-carte suits readers who only want print-style lore. Spoiler-light overview lives on Deluxe Edition and Nikki.
Deluxe vs shopping list
Add standalone prices roughly: animations + artbook + wallpapers + skins + soundtrack + two comics ≈ $18+ before tax/regional modifiers — often more expensive than grabbing Deluxe when Steam discounts the bundle. If you only want one comic or only the artbook, buy singles.
Story DLC is never in this list yet. The 80k-wishlist promise tracks on Post-Release Story DLC separately from cosmetics.
Buyer decision tree
- Still unsure about the loop? Play the free demo; read Getting Started and Steam Reviews.
- Want complete launch cosmetics + comics? Prefer Deluxe Edition.
- Own base, want scenes only? Animations Pack.
- Own base, want process art only? Artbook DLC.
- Waiting for new guests/lore? Wishlist notifications + Post-Release Story DLC — skip panic-buying comics as substitutes.
Install hygiene
After any DLC purchase:
- Confirm items on the Steam DLC tab.
- Update to Patch 1.0.2 so Gallery notifications and audio options behave.
- Use Browse local files for Artbook / Animations folders when store copy says so.
- Track base-game completion with Post-Launch Checklist — DLC does not auto-complete achievements.

Is Deluxe cheaper than buying every pack?
Usually yes when you want all cosmetics and comics. Compare live Steam cart totals — regional sales change the math.
Which DLC adds new story guests?
None of the launch cosmetic packs. Post-release story DLC is the promised lore and guest expansion.
