Our take on Hauntii
Possession gives the adventure broad environmental interaction, but that focus leaves less room for a narrowly specialized combat system. Progress also depends on combining exploration, puzzles, encounters, and fragment collection rather than following a single activity.
What is Hauntii?
Hauntii follows a ghost trying to ascend beyond the afterlife while searching for starry fragments linked to a former life.
Exploration takes place across hand-crafted, open-ended environments where possession can affect creatures and parts of the surroundings. Players move through the world by dashing, jumping, blasting, gliding, and shaking, while using different approaches to puzzles and combat encounters. Challenges, exploration, and exchanges with other ghosts provide pieces for building constellations and revealing the story. The game uses a two-tone visual style built from line art and animation, alongside a soundtrack that changes with the on-screen action.
