Publisher Firestoke and developer Moonloop Games have announced Hauntii for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC (Steam). It will launch in 2024.
Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About
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.
As Hauntii, you’ll traverse this mysterious world—using your ghostly powers to possess both its inhabitants and the environment itself, leading to a wide range of solutions to combat and puzzle scenarios.
Key Features
- Haunt – As a ghost, use your haunting powers to command both creatures and the environment itself.
Craft an array of solutions to puzzles, and devise various approaches to combat scenarios.- Explore – An expansive hand-crafted world, with tight yet open-ended environments. Whichever path you take, there’ll always be something around the corner, waiting to be discovered.
- Collect – Build the Constellations and uncover the story of Hauntii’s past life. Find the pieces you’ll need by exploring, solving challenges, and trading with other ghosts.
- Relax – A twin-stick game like no other, Hauntii combines classic shooting action with a slower, more contemplative pace as you traverse the otherworldly landscapes of Eternity—all set to a richly textured soundtrack by LightReturn
