Haunt the House is a puzzle-adventure game where players control a ghost trying to scare people out of a building. The game takes place in different locations, such as a museum, theater, and hospital, each filled with visitors who must be frightened away. The ghost can possess objects, making them move, shake, or create noises to increase fear levels. As more people leave, the ghost gains new abilities to create even bigger scares.
Possessing Objects and Causing Fear
Players can take control of various objects in each location, from furniture and decorations to everyday items. Some objects produce small movements, while others allow for more dramatic effects like flying across the room or making loud sounds. The goal is to raise the fear level of each person until they run away, but using the right scares at the right time is important. If people become suspicious rather than scared, they will hesitate to leave, making it harder to clear the area.
Unlocking New Locations and Abilities
As players successfully scare away visitors, they unlock access to new areas with different objects and challenges. The game introduces new mechanics that allow for more creative hauntings, letting players experiment with different scare tactics. Each location has a unique atmosphere, requiring players to adapt their strategy to clear it efficiently. The more effective the haunting, the faster the ghost can complete its task and move on to the next location.
