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 s 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.

Game Ratings for Hauntii Video Game.
VGChartz: 8.5 / 10 by Mark Nielsen
The creative fun of Super Mario Odyssey blends with the beauty of Ori to create one of this year’s indie gems.
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.
Digital Chumps: 8.5 / 10 by Ben Sheene
Hauntii is absolutely one of a kind, despite the familiarity players may latch on to. Moonloop Games creates a title focused on exploration that is visually riveting and packed with attention to detail. Incorporating puzzles both obtuse and clever, frustration and satisfaction may go hand in hand. But enough narrative heft and creative depth mean Hauntii is no mere specter that will fade into memory.
