About the Game
Deck of Haunts invites you to step into the eerie role of a malevolent haunted house, where the walls whisper secrets and terror lurks around every corner. As the master of this cursed domain, your goal is to ensnare daring humans, play on their fears, and drain their very essence to expand your dark influence.
By day, meticulously design the labyrinthine layout of your mansion, transforming it into a death trap that no human can escape. As night falls, lure unwitting explorers into your home, where you'll use a deck of terrifying cards to summon spirits, shift hallways, and unleash spine-chilling horrors. Build tension and drive your guests toward madness, all while protecting your Heart room, the core of your malevolent power.
Once their sanity crumbles, harvest their essence to strengthen your mansion, increasing your infamy and attracting even more daring visitors, from law enforcement to priests. But beware, the Stone Masons are coming, ready to challenge your reign of terror!
Key Features
- Craft Your Deck of Haunts - Unlock and collect new cards as you progress. Expand your deck to include tools of terror like bone-chilling screams, phantoms, creaking floors, and shifting walls. Use your cards to scare, or kill, your victims to extract their essence.
- Build Your Mansion - Strategically design your haunted house by placing rooms that serve to protect your Heart room, the literal beating heart of your ghostly manor. Construct a maze filled with traps, scares, and unique twists, all tailored to frighten and confuse your visitors. Utilize special rooms with unique powers to aid in your hauntings.
- Sow Tension and Fear - As humans navigate your mansion, increase the tension by playing haunt cards directly on them or cast special effects on different rooms. Slowly drive them to insanity. Once their fear reaches critical levels, use the right haunts to push them to the brink of madness. Don't let a single soul escape!
- Harvest Essence - Once you've driven the explorers mad with fear, extract their essence to grow your mansion. Use it to unlock new rooms, expand your haunting powers, and attract more dangerous (and rewarding) targets. Consume all who dare step foot inside.
- Endless Mode - Unlockable after certain conditions are met, this mode lets you test your haunting prowess in an infinite nightmare.
