About Haunt the House
Have you ever wanted to see what it’s like to be a mischievous ghost with nothing better to do than rattle chains and levitate furniture? In Haunt the House, you slip into the spectral shoes of a friendly but restless spirit who’s determined to send the living packing from a colorful old mansion. It’s delightfully simple: wander from room to room, possess everyday objects and dial up the fear until your guests can’t take it anymore.
What makes the game charming is how it turns household items into your best tricks. A squeaky chair can become a terrifying seat of doom, creaky floorboards let you give passersby a good scare, and even a painting can stare back with glowing eyes. Each successful fright earns you points, and as you rack up a bigger “boo score,” you unlock the ability to haunt more rooms and explore hidden nooks.
There’s something hypnotic about the pixel-art style and the way the sound design shifts from soft, eerie ambiance to sudden bursts of spooky fun. The color palette feels like it’s perpetually caught at twilight, and the soundtrack teases out those goosebumps without ever feeling too intense. It’s a low-pressure kind of thrill—you’re never in danger, you’re just having a bit of phantom fun.
By the time you’ve sent every last guest scurrying, you’re left feeling delightfully wicked and eager to try different haunt strategies next time. Whether you’re looking for a quick burst of humor or a creative puzzle in disguise, Haunt the House delivers a playful spooky fix in just the right size.
