Our take on Haunted Stories
The separate-story structure trades narrative continuity for changes in protagonists, eras, locations, and mechanics. That variety means the game is divided into individual mysteries rather than following one protagonist through a single sustained storyline.
What is Haunted Stories?
Haunted Stories combines horror and thriller elements across separate playable stories, each with an independent storyline, protagonist, time period, setting, secrets, mechanics, and puzzles.
The scenarios include a supermarket robbery interrupted by strange apparitions, a traveler spending a night in a deserted Western town, and a search for a missing hunter at a forest cabin. Players explore open areas and look for clues or traces connected to each mystery. Every story offers multiple endings, and the vendor states that at least five standalone stories will be included in the final version. Additional stories are planned during Early Access. The locations, historical periods, and gameplay mechanics vary between stories, while surprises and unpredictable twists appear during the investigations.
