HAUNT

You're a ghost. Everything wants you dead (again). Possess your enemies, corrupt their arena, survive the onslaught.

  • 7 playable ghosts, each with unique abilities
  • 20 weapons (10 base + 10 evolutions)
  • 7 game modes including Endless and Daily Challenges
  • Chain Possession — take over enemy bodies mid-fight
  • Arena Corruption — the map shifts as you kill
  • Veil Break — risk/reward ultimate system
  • Meta-progression between runs
  • 39 achievements
  • 9 languages: English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese (BR), Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian
  • Actively updated — bug fixes still rolling out

THE HONEST VERSION

Haunt was a learning project. I'm a solo dev building my first studio — Otter Game Studio — and I needed to learn how to actually ship a game. So I built one.

Everything I learned here is going into Burgstead — a medieval city-builder where you grow a village into a thriving lord's domain. 21 months in, 19 sprints deep, built in Unity. That's the real dream.

ABOUT THE ART & AUDIO

Real talk — a lot of the sprites are free packs and placeholders. The music and SFX are all royalty-free grabs to fill the gaps. This was a self-funded project built to learn, not to sell. I couldn't justify spending on custom art or audio before I knew I could actually finish a game. All credits for every asset are in the game itself.

If you're a pixel artist, composer, or SFX designer and want to collaborate on something, I'd love to hear from you.

SUPPORT THE JOURNEY

Haunt is free and staying free. If you enjoy it and want to support a solo dev building their dream game, follow along on Patreon for devlogs, behind-the-scenes, and eventually early access to Burgstead.
