About This Demo

Get a taste of the terror with this playable demo of Deck of Haunts on Steam, featuring:

  • 8 Playable Nights: Haunt daring intruders—both ordinary and resilient—as you decide their fates: scare them away or consume them entirely!

  • 30 Sinister Cards: Unleash a spine-chilling arsenal of cards to torment and unhinge your unwelcome guests.

  • 7 Strategic Room Types: Design your nightmare mansion with 3 basic rooms, 3 special rooms, and 1 unique room, tailoring your traps and tactics to precision.

  • 1 Haunting Spirit: Call upon a loyal phantom ally to assist in your dreadful escapades.

Step into the role of a sinister 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 foes, from law enforcement to priests. But beware, the Stone Masons are coming, ready to challenge your reign of terror…

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, then extract their essence.

Strategically design your haunted house by placing rooms that serve to protect your Heart room, where your power is concentrated. 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.

As humans navigate your mansion, increase the tension by playing haunt cards directly on them and within 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. Will you let them escape?

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. Grow your haunted domain into a nightmare that consumes all who enter.
