Haunted House
A roguelite resurrection of Atari's haunted house crawl, modernized with dash mechanics and ghouls instead of the original's abstract horror, but thin on content and charm.
GamerScout Verdict
Light arcade roguelite with solid core mechanics, but not enough variety to justify extended play.
Compare Prices(6 stores)
Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Haunted House
Orbit Studio's 2023 take on the Atari classic trades text-parser abstraction for real-time action. You creep, sneak, and dash through procedurally-shuffled rooms fighting ectoplasms and ghouls in short runs. Controller support makes the movement feel responsive, and the roguelite structure (unlock new abilities, modifiers, path options) gives you a reason to retry. The problem: runs feel samey fast. Room variety is sparse, enemy types limited, and the core loop of dash-attack-dodge doesn't have enough depth or visual personality to carry 10+ runs. It's functional roguelite design executed competently but generically. Haunted House works fine as a 30-minute arcade snack, but there's not much meat here worth coming back for after the initial unlock cycle.
