Review

Hauntii is a mesmerizing blend of ethereal storytelling and captivating gameplay, anchored by its unique haunting mechanic. As a ghost, you possess both objects and creatures, creating innovative solutions to puzzles and uncovering the story of your past life. The hand-drawn art style is a visual delight, with each scene crafted meticulously to evoke a sense of wonder and melancholy. Despite occasional pacing issues that can slow the experience and some minor technical glitches, particularly on lower-end systems, Hauntii’s core gameplay remains thoroughly engaging. However, once you’ve completed the main narrative, the limited replay value might leave some players wanting more. Overall, Hauntii is a beautifully haunting journey worth taking.

Background information

Critics have praised Hauntii for its innovative mechanics and artistic direction. Multiple reviews highlight the game’s emotional depth, drawing comparisons to other narrative-driven indie titles. However, some have noted the game’s limited scope once the primary story is finished, suggesting that while the first playthrough is magical, subsequent ones may not hold the same allure.
