What critics are saying
“A beautifully ethereal soundtrack” – The Guardian
“Hauntii has high potential to become an indie darling” – TheGamer
“The sprawling world of the afterlife and its intriguing mythology have us completely hooked” – PLAY Magazine
Take control of enemies, rocks, trees, bugs and much more with the haunt mechanic, then use the special abilities of Hauntii’s denizens to come up with ingenious solutions to overcome the many challenges littered across the game’s enchanting world. On your adventure, you will meet a host of charming characters bursting with personality that will give you insights into the game’s mythology, battle enemies with twin-stick shooter mechanics and delve into a ghostly mystery that will see you diving deep into your past.
Hauntii is set in Eternity, a place that exists outside of space, where all souls eventually end up. No ghost can truly die in Eternity, but all can be led astray, corrupted into hellish versions of their former selves. A mysterious race of glowing creatures, known as Eternians, guides lost souls to an ominous central tower where they appear to ascend to a higher plane. They look like angels, but no one really knows who they are, nor where they came from. Can you journey to the tower? Can you solve the mystery behind the Eternians? Can you decode your own past?
“We’re proud to be able to present Hauntii to you in our new trailer and announce that the game is coming to PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch on May 23rd” said Leo Dasso, founder of Moonloop Games. “Though we have a small team, everyone on the team is an expert at their craft and we are very proud of what we have created. Head to our Steam page and wishlist Hauntii now, or we’ll send a ghost out to haunt you.”
