Haunted House is an action adventure roguelite and a reimagining of a 1982 Atari 2600 game of the same name. It was developed by Orbit Studio.

Plot

The game's protagonist is Lyn, a young girl visiting her uncle, legendary treasure hunter Zachary Graves. Once there, she finds his estate overrun by monsters. Lyn's friends are abducted, while her uncle is nowhere to be found.

She must find a way to save them and deal with the beasts - and so, she starts searching for the pieces of a magical urn scattered across the house, which could possibly imprison the monsters.

Mechanics

The game is set in a haunted mansion. The core gameplay consists of avoiding monsters, sneaking past them without getting caught. The player can set traps and distract enemies, avoiding their attacks in case of a direct confrontation. We'll also face many bosses, each of whom guards a shard of the magical urn.

If we fall, we'll respawn at the mansion entrance, while the building's structure and the location of enemies is procedurally generated anew. This makes game different each run. Saving Lyn's friends makes them playable, while all of them have different stats and skills.

Each successful run makes us stronger, as we can upgrade our health, stamina or lantern.

Technical aspects

Haunted House is an isometric game, featuring humorous, colorful, cartoonish visuals.
