Synopsis :

Haunted House pays homage to the original survival horror adventure by seamlessly adopting dynamic roguelite elements while incorporating stealth-based gameplay and haunting boss battles.

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 compatriots, only to find the house overrun with ghouls and monsters who quickly grab and spirit away her friends. In order to free her uncle and her friends, and capture all the supernatural foes, Lyn must find the shattered pieces of a magical urn and put them back together to contain the troublesome poltergeists.

Through procedurally generated room layouts, shifting walls, unpredictable enemy placements, and unique 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—with 3D isometric stealth gameplay, 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 haunted house’s entrance and must face an entirely new floor layout and enemy placement, ensuring each run is unique.

Ah, I'm listening to that podcast right now.  🙂

It reminds me a lot of GameCube "Luigi's Mansion", which is a really good thing.  I'm looking forward to this one.

PSA:  This released yesterday and is 20 % off in the first week.  So, $15.99 vs. $19.99. 

I played for a couple of hours late yesterday and it is SO FUN!  There is a fair bit of challenge despite the cartoon-like look. 

Anyone else playing?

So it's been a while since it came out, has anybody completed this game yet.  I finished repairing the main hall, saved all the kids and beat the final boss and I loved playing the game but that ending is underwhelming.  Does it get better if you collect everything?  I honestly doubt it but I'm just curious if anybody else has completed the game, especially 100%...
