Hauntii is a cross between an adventure game and a twin-stick shooter. The player explores the afterlife as a ghost, solving puzzles, fighting enemies, possessing other characters and objects.
Hauntii is an action adventure shooter and the debut project of the American studio Moonlop Games.
The game is set in Eternity, an afterlife where souls go after death. Once there, they are immortal, yet not safe. There are many dangers lurking within the realm, which can lead the souls astray and corrupt them into warped versions of their former selves.
The main character is Hauntii, one of the ghosts traversing Eternity, setting out on a journey and discovering the secrets of the Eternians, a mysterious race who lead lost souls to a dark tower where they are to supposedly ascend.
Hauntii is a cross between an adventure game and a shooter. The player explores the world, talks to the people of Eternity and solves puzzles by possessing people and objects.
Occasionally we'll also encounter enemies, engaging them in twin-stick shooter combat.
Throughout our journey we can also acquire stars, which gradually reveal our character's former life to us.
The game only supports singleplayer.
Execution is a strong point of Hauntii. The game mixes appealing 2D visuals with an unusual, distinctive artstyle. The soundtrack was composed by LightReturn.

Game Ratings for Hauntii Video Game.
Metro GameCentral: 7 / 10 by Steve Boxer
A highly original indie action puzzler, with some wonderfully minimal visuals and a uniquely beguiling atmosphere.

Despite its very frustrating minor game design decisions, the rest of Hauntii is a genuine marvel. Despite the game’s shortcomings – its artistic direction, dynamic score, and strong but simple narrative create a truly immersive journey that deserves to be experienced by everyone.
Game Informer: 8.2 / 10 by Marcus Stewart
Though Hauntii offers simplistic shooter pleasure, my favorite moments didn’t involve blowing targets to smithereens. The voice-less story of the ghost gradually regaining precious memories only to be faced with surrendering them to crossover touched me at points. I enjoyed interacting with the kooky, amusing ghosts, like a paranoid scientist concocting hair-brained schemes to capture your angel friend like a Team Rocket villain. I never tired of soaking in the swelling musical score as the camera panned out to reveal a jaw-dropping backdrop. The beautiful ending sequence stands out as a highlight of the year. Hauntii transforms the understandable anxiety and fear surrounding death into an alluring and comforting reflection of the joy of life.
