Interaction first
The most interesting part of a multiplayer game is often the person on the other side of it.

Currently in development
An asymmetric multiplayer horror-comedy where Humans investigate a location while player-controlled Haunts turn the investigation against them.
Cameras, mirrors and teamwork give Humans a way forward. The Haunts make sure that path never stays simple.
Steam page expected after September 12
Bad Haunts / The concept
The room tells two different stories.
Humans search for evidence and the anchors binding each Haunt to the world. The Haunts disrupt that investigation in real time—flickering lights, sabotaging mirrors, breaking up photography and creating uncertainty.
01
Mirrors
Mirrors can reveal Haunts and help expose the objects binding them to the world. What appears in the reflection matters.
02
Cameras
Photography is an active tool. Images taken directly—or through mirrors—produce the evidence needed to seal anchors.
03
Two sides
Humans investigate together while real players control the frightening side—sabotaging, misleading and choosing when to strike.

Notes from development.
Honest updates on what is playable, what is changing and what still needs work.
From Ship to Motel
A playable blockout proved the core loop. It also made the next decision clear: leave the earlier ship concept behind and build a map with a tighter gameplay focus.
Read updateClose update
The temporary blockout level gave the core playable logic a place to be tested. With that foundation working, development moved away from an earlier ship-map concept that was too ambitious for the project’s current scope.
The new motel is designed around the actual match: a central courtyard, multiple rooms, two levels, balconies, stairs and a swimming pool. Construction and early polish are now underway.
Online work is moving alongside the map. Steam lobby systems have been tested across two physical Windows PCs with separate accounts. HUD and menu UI are being redesigned, and music has progressed significantly.
There is still substantial work ahead in sound design, onboarding, animation, match feedback, final level art and supporting systems. Bad Haunts is not production-ready, has no announced release date, and its Steam page is expected after September 12.
