Haunted House Sneaks onto Xbox
xboxoldies.comPrepare for all manners of thrills and chills this Halloween season as Atari announces the release of its reimagined stealth-strategy roguelite, Haunted House.
Both a revamp and a tribute to the original “survival horror” Atari 2600 title, Haunted House puts players in the adventurous shoes of Lyn Graves, who has set out on a mission with her friends to investigate the disappearance of her uncle, the legendary Zachary Graves. Little do they know, though, that something wicked their way comes…
In Haunted House, players take control of Lyn Graves, the precocious niece of legendary treasure hunter Zachary Graves. Lyn visits her uncle’s mansion with her closest friends, only to find the massive house overrun with ghouls and monsters who quickly grab and spirit away her friends. In order to free her uncle and her friends, Lyn must find the shattered pieces of a magical urn and put them back together.
Through procedurally generated room layouts, shifting walls, unpredictable enemy placements, and ghostly encounters, Lyn must creep, sneak, and dash her way through hordes of ghouls and eerie ectoplasms in order to locate her friends and uncle. Each urn shard is fiercely guarded by a bone-chilling boss — Lyn must think on her feet to conquer each challenge. When she gets knocked out by a shadowy specter, she winds up back at the mansion’s entrance and must face an entirely new floor layout and enemy placement, ensuring each run is unique.
