The release date for the game Hauntii was announced at the Future Games Show Spring Showcase. Developers Moonloop and Firestoke Games confirmed that it will be launched on May 23, 2024. Xbox Game Pass also announced that Hauntii will be released on May 23.
According to Moonloop, Hauntii is a ghost story in which the player takes on the role of a ghost. They are tasked with ascending to a higher plane of the afterlife, navigating a vivid eternity as a dead spirit who enjoys possessing and solving puzzles.
Hauntii is a twin-stick shooter, but it focuses on taking control of enemies through possession rather than featuring endless waves of enemies common to the genre. As a ghost, players must use their haunting powers to control creatures and the environment.
This mechanic of possessing other creatures to solve puzzles has similarities to the game Crawl, a dungeon crawler where your friends control the monsters, adding an element of strategic competition to the gameplay. Players navigate through randomly generated dungeons teeming with cruel traps and horrid beasts, all under the control of their friends, creating an atmosphere of thrilling unpredictability.
In contrast, Hauntii appears to be designed for solitary play, offering an immersive and solitary experience where players delve into the depths of haunted realms alone, confronting eerie challenges and unraveling sinister mysteries at their own pace.
Moonloop has highlighted critical features of the game on its website, such as encouraging players to explore the world and uncover the story.
Explore – An expansive hand-crafted world, with tight yet open-ended environments. Whichever path you take, there’ll always be something around the corner, waiting to be discovered.
Collect – Build the Constellations and uncover the story of Hauntii’s past life. Find the pieces you’ll need by exploring, solving challenges, and trading with other ghosts.
It seems like an engagingly spooky game that immerses players in its stunning landscapes of the dead, accompanied by a captivating soundtrack composed by LightReturn. The Hauntii will be released on May 23 for PC and Xbox Series X.
