Hauntii is a cross between an adventure game and a twin-stick shooter. The player explores the afterlife as a ghost, solving puzzles, fighting enemies, possessing other characters and objects.
Hauntii is an action adventure shooter and the debut project of the American studio Moonlop Games.
The game is set in Eternity, an afterlife where souls go after death. Once there, they are immortal, yet not safe. There are many dangers lurking within the realm, which can lead the souls astray and corrupt them into warped versions of their former selves.
The main character is Hauntii, one of the ghosts traversing Eternity, setting out on a journey and discovering the secrets of the Eternians, a mysterious race who lead lost souls to a dark tower where they are to supposedly ascend.
Hauntii is a cross between an adventure game and a shooter. The player explores the world, talks to the people of Eternity and solves puzzles by possessing people and objects.
Occasionally we'll also encounter enemies, engaging them in twin-stick shooter combat.
Throughout our journey we can also acquire stars, which gradually reveal our character's former life to us.
The game only supports singleplayer.
Execution is a strong point of Hauntii. The game mixes appealing 2D visuals with an unusual, distinctive artstyle. The soundtrack was composed by LightReturn.

Possess ladybirds and rollercoasters in Moonloop Games' quirky, inventive take on the afterlife
Nintendo Life: 4 / 10 by Kate Gray
Hauntii is so beautiful that it's heartbreaking not to be able to recommend it right now. We can tell that it's made with love, but love isn't enough to overlook its flaws. We hope that the developers manage to fix the issues in the long term, because underneath them is something truly magical – but for now, it's just a ghost of what it could be.
Checkpoint Gaming: 7.5 / 10 by Tom Quirk
Despite some very minor bugbears holding back the experience, it's hard to come away from Hauntii without feeling thoroughly delighted. The game is a testament to how much fluid and detailed art and animation and a great soundtrack can carry an experience. The game's central haunting mechanic is enjoyable to experiment with, and has plenty of clever implementations as you scour Eternity searching for hidden stars. If you're seeking a more chill collectathon with gorgeous artwork and musical score, Hauntii is certainly worth seeking out.
