Plot

In Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion: HD Renovation we find ourselves in the titular mansion on a hill, about which terrifying legends have been circulating for generations. Our goal is to uncover the mysteries of the place. First, however, we have to survive crossing 1000 rooms full of scares and dangers, prepared by the titular Spooky.

Game mechanics

In Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion: HD Renovation we observe the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). We traverse the title mansion, solve puzzles and read the notes scattered around it, gradually learning more and more about it. The passage is not an idyllic one, however, as various phantoms and monsters trample on our heels. As encounters with them usually end tragically for us, we have to avoid them at all costs, hiding from them and fleeing when necessary. Interestingly, each gameplay here looks a bit different, as most of the mansion's rooms (except for a select few where we first meet a given enemy) are procedurally generated.

Technical aspects

Graphics in Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion: HD Renovation is made in a retro style, bringing to mind games from the 1990s.
