Hand-drawn cartoon characters
Every character is drawn by hand, with bold ink outlines, rubbery expressions and the kind of personality that made old cartoons so memorable.
Now in development
Grab a torch, check your gear and follow the cold spots. A hand-drawn cartoon ghost hunting adventure set in a fully 3D world, made for anyone who grew up on the spooky Saturday morning cartoons of the 80s and 90s.
Puzzles. Detective work. Survival horror. And jokes you probably shouldn't laugh at in a haunted house.
Case file #001
Every haunting is a mystery. Gather clues, crack the puzzles and work out what is really going bump in the night, ideally without becoming the next ghost story yourself.
Every character is drawn by hand, with bold ink outlines, rubbery expressions and the kind of personality that made old cartoons so memorable.
Flat, illustrated characters explore a fully 3D world, so hallways stretch into the dark, rooms have real depth and something can always be waiting just around the corner.
A love letter to the animated shows of the 80s and 90s: a gang of misfit investigators, spooky mansions, dramatic reveals and a theme-tune energy running through the whole thing.
Track down hauntings with your ghost hunting gear, interview witnesses, piece the evidence together and uncover the story behind each spirit.
Classic adventure game thinking with a ghostly twist: hidden passages, locked rooms, strange devices and puzzles that need a sharp eye and a steady nerve.
Genuine scares, tense chases and the odd moment where you'll want to hide, balanced with gallows humour and characters who crack jokes to keep from screaming.
Tune in next time
Just like the shows that inspired it, the adventure unfolds over multiple episodes. Each one opens a new case, introduces new hauntings and pulls the bigger mystery a little further out of the shadows.

PlannedStep inside the haunting yourself, in a future release.
Future releaseThe best spooky cartoons never let you settle. One minute you're laughing at a terrible pun, the next you're holding your breath behind a wardrobe while something drags its chains down the hall. That's the feeling we're chasing: survival horror tension and dark comedy, in the same haunted house.
From our own late night sessions
We're fans first. These are the haunted games we keep coming back to, most of them small indie projects that grew into word of mouth hits, and each one brings something genuinely different to the hunt.
The game that kicked off the modern ghost hunting craze, and it started life as a one person project. Up to four of you walk into a haunted building with EMF readers, spirit boxes and cameras, call out to the ghost through your actual microphone, and piece together the evidence to identify it before it decides to hunt.
Official websiteSwaps the haunted house for haunted ancient Egyptian tombs. Up to four archaeologists explore procedurally generated ruins, study the phenomena to name the cursed mummy stalking them, and perform the ritual to banish it. Greedy players can always go one chamber deeper for treasure.
Official websitePure co-op panic. One to four players race to stop possessed cultists before they drag everyone to hell, collecting what the ritual needs while being chased through dark corridors. From a small British indie studio, it's proof that a scream shared is a scream doubled.
Official websiteYou've just signed on with PAH Inc., Paranormal Activity Helpers Incorporated, and the first job is a funeral parlour with a very nasty history. Each mission has its own story, its own entity to weaken and capture, and multiple endings, with proximity voice chat so your friends' screams carry exactly as far as they should.
