Possess ladybirds and rollercoasters in Moonloop Games’ quirky, inventive take on the afterlife
Hauntii is a twin-stick shooter in the same way Super Mario Bros: Wonder is a game about jumping. This imaginative, breathtakingly beautiful debut from Moonloop Games about a ghost searching for understanding in the afterlife transforms the twitchiest of genres into an expansive, accessible adventure filled with puzzles, surprises, and ideas.
You play a newly departed spirit washed up on the black shores of a purgatorial hereafter, with no recollection of their identity in their previous life. As you thread along winding paths of white light, two goals emerge for you to pursue: find out more about who you were before you died, and chase down a mysterious angelic figure who continually eludes your grasp, like a certain princess absenting a certain castle.
