Our take on Haunted Arcade
The two-mode structure trades campaign depth for quick access to individual arcade challenges. Story Mode adds context through the ghost's history, while Arcade Mode prioritizes immediate competition, leaving less room for a single continuous gameplay system to develop over time.
What is Haunted Arcade?
Haunted Arcade is a collection of colorful arcade games set in a hand-painted 3D recreation of an 1980s arcade hall.
A resident ghost changes the setting and establishes the story. Players can follow Story Mode, where progress reveals the ghost's history and leads toward resolving its unfinished business, or choose Arcade Mode for immediate access to the available games and score competition. Successful arcade play awards tickets that can be used in the Points Shop. The game combines a retro arcade setting with a ghost-centered narrative and two modes of play. The development team says it is working on four additional arcade games, along with patches, other features, and content updates.
