Epic Launch Alert: Hauntii Hits Xbox & Game Pass
Firestoke and Moonloop Games have dropped the mic with their latest indie adventure announcement – Hauntii is making its spectral journey to Xbox Series X|S and landing directly into the realm of Game Pass for both console and PC gamers. This game is not just a title; it’s an experience, wrapping players in a cozy blanket of mystery, melancholy, and a compelling blend of puzzles, action, and exploration. If you’re itching for a taste, snag the demo on Steam during the Steam Next Fest, but you gotta act fast – it’s ghosting away after February 12th.
Game Mechanics: Possess, Puzzle, and Prevail
At the heart of Hauntii lies a unique haunting mechanic that turns the game into a playground of creativity. Players get to possess their surroundings, controlling the environment and its inhabitants to battle foes and solve brain-teasing puzzles. Imagine flipping the script on your adversaries with special abilities or crafting clever solutions to the myriad of challenges that dot the enchanting world of Eternity. It’s all about exploration, puzzle-solving, and getting those twin-stick shooting skills on point in a world that’s as stunning as it is hand-crafted.
The Lore: Unveil the Secrets of Eternity
The story unfolds in Eternity, a nebulous place beyond the confines of space, the final destination for all souls. Here, no ghost meets its end, but they can fall from grace, morphing into nightmarish versions of themselves. Enter the Eternians, mysterious beings of light guiding souls to a central tower for what appears to be ascension. But appearances can be deceiving. The quest to unravel the mystery of the Eternians and your own past is fraught with intrigue and danger. Will you reach the tower? Will the truth of the Eternians come to light? It’s a journey filled with questions, and only the bravest souls will find the answers.
Dev Speak: Crafting Hauntii
Moonloop Games’ Leo Dasso shares the passion behind the project, “Hauntii is a labor of love, a game we’re thrilled to bring to the Game Pass community. We’re eager for players to dive into the unique art style and music that shape the story of this quaint little ghost.” Echoing the sentiment, Firestoke’s Paul Farley adds, “Hauntii stands out as a truly unique gaming experience. Whether you’re on Xbox or PC, you’re in for a treat that’s unlike anything else.”
