Are you bold enough to enter A Lively Haunt alone? Or must you join a friend to investigate this 2-player, old-school, text parser adventure game?

ABOUT THIS GAME

Stranded on the roadside when your car breaks down, you quickly begin to realize that a faulty engine is the least of your troubles. You find yourself surrounded by malicious assailants with strange, seemingly supernatural, properties. And when you take shelter in a nearby estate, things only seem to get worse, as you begin to suspect an ominous connection between the historic property, and the grim, relentless revenants.

FEATURES
  • One or Two Players: Full game can be played solo, or with a friend (local co-op only, 2 USB keyboards required).

  • Hopelessly Nostalgic: Heavily inspired by adventure games of the mid to late 1980s. Haunt meticulously re-creates the visual style, audio design, and gameplay mechanics reminiscent of the time.

  • Outdated Text Parser Interface: A "point & click" adventure, without all the bother of having to point or click. Type in commands such as "OPEN DOOR" or "TAKE CROWBAR" to solve dozens of challenging, but organically integrated, puzzles.

  • Improves Typing Speed: Presumably. Practice your typing skills as you play. Be the envy of all your friends.

! IMPORTANT NOTES !
Supports external USB keyboards only. Laptop / built-in keyboards may not be properly recognized in-game.

If you experience any keyboard input issues, please see the troubleshooting discussion in the community hub.

Multiplayer supports 2-player, local "couch" co-op only, and both players are required to have their own, separate keyboards.
