Our take on Haunt the House: Terrortown
The defining mechanic is possession: the ghost inhabits everyday objects and uses their different powers to frighten people out of each location.
What is Haunt the House: Terrortown?
Play as a ghost haunting a town at night.
Possess objects and use their different powers to scare people out of a museum, hospital, theatre and cruise ship. This side-scrolling action puzzle game includes five locations, each with its own musical style and objects. Hundreds of objects can be possessed, and the town’s residents have individual personalities, voices and styles. The main goal is to frighten everyone away and reclaim what was lost before the night ends. A secret second goal lies beyond clearing the town. Three expansions added after launch are Ghost Train, Mansion House and The North Pole.
