Hauntii

Hauntii is an action adventure shooter and the debut project of the American studio Moonlop Games.

Plot

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.

Mechanics

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.

Game modes

The game only supports singleplayer.

Technical matters

Execution is a strong point of Hauntii. The game mixes appealing 2D visuals with an unusual, distinctive artstyle. The soundtrack was composed by LightReturn.
